SIAM Student Travel Awards
The awards are to be made from the SIAM Student Travel Fund, created in 1991 and maintained through book royalties donated by generous SIAM authors and by donations from SIAM members. The awards for selected conferences are also supported by donations from industry.
Any full-time student in good standing is eligible to receive an award plus gratis meeting registration. Top priority will be given to students presenting papers at the meeting, with second priority to students who are co-authors of papers to be presented at the meetings. Only students traveling more than 100 miles to the meetings are eligible for the awards.
An application for a travel award must include:
- A letter from the student describing his/her academic standing and interests, his/her expected graduation date and degree, advisor's name, and, if available, a URL for a working Web page.
- A one-page vita that includes the student's research interests, projects, and papers published.
- A detailed letter from the student's faculty advisor indicating why the student is deserving of receiving a travel award and any special circumstances.
- If applicable, the title(s) of the paper(s) to be presented (co-authored) by the student at the meeting.
Complete applications must be received at the SIAM office no later than two months before the first day of the meeting for which support is requested.
Winners will be notified five weeks before the first day of the meeting. Checks for the awards will be given to the winning students when they arrive at the given meeting and check in at the SIAM Registration Desk.
