WAFR 2006: Travel Grant Information

Support from the NSF will enable us to provide travel grants for students studying at institutions in the US (including international students studying in the US) or for US citizens or permanent residents studying abroad. We are currently seeking additional funds that could be used for other students. The exact number and amount of the awards will be determined based on the number of eligible attendees and the availability of funds.

We encourage all students to apply for travel grants using the on-line application below. Since space is limited, especially in the dorms, students should go ahead and register even if they are applying for a travel grant - students subsequently awarded travel grants will be issued refunds for any expenses that would be covered by the travel grant.

In the application, students are asked to provide:

• a statement describing why it is important for them to attend WAFR,
• a curriculum vitae (CV),
• a budget regarding their cost of atttendance at WAFR and any other sources of support they may have,
• the name and email address of their advisor or another faculty member that can provide a recommendation (the reference will receive an email with the url of a webpage they can visit to provide a recommendation).

The deadline for applications is June 19, 2006 - all materials, including the advisor/faculty recommendation, should be received by this date. Applicants will be notified as soon as awards are made.
