We are excited you are considering attending the National Science Policy Symposium!
We understand that many students may be prohibited from attending without some financial support, and that can often be difficult to obtain from your university for a non-academic conference. We want to support as many students as possible to attend the symposium, prioritizing students that would not be able to attend without this support and cannot find financial support elsewhere. Additionally, we will generally provide greater support for individuals traveling from farther away. Support will be determined on a case by case basis, but the following are general guidelines for the amount of support we can provide.
a) Midwest (within 10 hours driving distance) - support for groups traveling together (car/bus rental)
b) Continental U.S. - up to $300
c) Non-continental U.S. and territories - up to $400
Important Points:
1) There will be two rounds of funding for travel awards. The first round of applications is due on July 8th, and the second round will be due on September 9th.
2) You must be registered as an NSPN Member to be eligible for a travel grant.
3) Travel grants will be provided only AFTER your attendance at the symposium.
