Application Procedure

All application materials must be received by May 1, 2008

Applications are invited for the Pacific Division Student Travel Award. The award, established in 2000, is intended to increase opportunities for students attending institutions within the Pacific Division region to participate in APS Pacific Division meetings. Four awards of $500 will be available to APS/APS Pacific Division student members giving oral presentations at the Division meeting or at the APS Annual meeting when it is combined with the Division meeting. Students who receive an award will not be eligible to apply for an award the following year. Preference will be given to students who have never received a division travel award. Students who receive a travel award will automatically be entered in the student paper competition.

Application packets must include the following:

1. Abstract as submitted for the Division meeting or Annual meeting when the Division meeting is combined with the Annual meeting.

2. Supporting letter (one page maximum) from your major professor. This letter can include:

a. Reason student is attending the meeting.

b. Scientific, academic and creative merits of the student.

c. Any special circumstances that make attendance at the meeting dependent on receiving a Student Travel Award.

Submit Word files of the application materials by May 1, 2008 to: Dr. Doug Gubler, Chair, Pacific Division Early Career Award Committee.
