Travel Award Application Process

The ERN Conference student travel award covers the conference registration fee, housing, airfare, and ground transportation.

***For travel award recipients, AAAS staff will process the conference registration and make the hotel arrangements.***

A limited number of travel awards are available for students who are selected for poster or oral presentations at the ERN Conference. (Please check with your advisor to determine if you should apply for a travel award.)

All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the following criteria: (1) academic achievement and (2) STEM career interest. For award finalists, we will contact faculty mentors to verify student GPAs and for an explanation of why travel support cannot be paid from their NSF grant or other sources.
