SSA Travel Grants

Travel grants are available to help cover the costs of some international SSA members and student members who wish to attend the SSA Annual Meeting. For the 2005 meeting in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, SSA is offering one international member travel award of $1000 and three student member travel awards of $750 each.

Eligibility: SSA members who must travel internationally to attend the annual SSA meeting are eligible for the international travel award. For the 2005 meeting, this means travel must be from anywhere but the U.S. Student members who must travel more than 500 km (either domestic or international) are eligible for the student travel awards. Award winners must present their work in either an oral or poster session at the meeting.

Application: To apply for either award, please submit an application electronically via the form available at SSA travel grants. Deadline for receipt of applications by SSA is 18 December 2004. The application should state which award you are applying for and provide reasons why you are a good candidate for the award. Include in the application the abstract that you will be submitting for presentation if you obtain the award.

Awardees will be notified of their award status at least one week before the SSA deadline for abstract submission. The awards will be announced and the checks presented at the Annual Luncheon during the SSA meeting. Awardees will be the guests of SSA at this event.
