Student Travel Awards for 2011

Students planning on presenting a contributed oral paper or a poster at the WOS annual meeting are invited to apply for a travel award from the Society. These awards are both need- and merit-based, and are intended to encourage student participation by defraying part of the cost of attending the meeting.

To apply, send (as an email attachment) an expanded, detailed summary of the paper (MS Word or pdf) to be presented (not to exceed two, double-spaced typed pages) and a budget of anticipated travel and subsistence costs to Tim O'Connell (tim.oconnell@okstate.edu). Unlike an abstract for the conference program, the summary should include statistical details supporting the major findings and in-text citation of key sources, as well as a Litertaure Cited section presenting bibliographic information for the cited sources.

Please only include in the budget anticipated travel expenses that will not be covered by any other source, e.g., travel awards from a student's home department.

Application deadline: To Be Determined (probably around 30 November)

Note: Students applying for travel awards must still register for the meeting and submit a regular (shorter!) abstract for the scientific program. Please consult the conference web site about details of these processes, which are separate from the travel award review. The Travel Awards Committee aims to inform students of the result of their applications prior to the abstract submission deadline.
