APS Foundation Student Travel Award Process
The application process is now closed for 2008.
The APS Foundation Student Travel Awards Program is
conducted via an online application process yearly.
Awards of $500 are provided to Student Travel Award recipients.
Some aspects of the application process are lengthy, applicants are
encouraged to review the requirements below and prepare their responses in
their own word processing application prior to completing the online form
and then cut and past their information into the form.
Requirements for the application are as follows:

APS Annual Meeting for which you are requesting travel support. (Abstracts included
in the travel award application process are not automatically submitted
to the meeting organizers for inclusion in the conference program.)

symposium at the APS annual meeting (maximum length 2,999 characters with spaces).

scientific and/or social contexts?
. What are the implications of the topic you chose for plant pathology
and human or environmental welfare?
. Why should APS host a symposium on this topic?
. Provide names of actual speakers you think can address different
aspects of your chosen topic, and explain how their expertise will
enrich the symposium.
- Identify your graduate advisor or other sponsor in the field of
plant pathology who will write a letter on your behalf explaining the
