Applications now open for new graduate student travel scholarship

Your Graduate Student Committee knows how important attending the ASA, CSSA, and SSSA Annual Meeting can be for showcasing your research, engaging in professional development, and networking with industry partners and fellow researchers. We also understand that the cost of travel can be a barrier to attendance. With the help of generous donors and matching funds from the Agronomic Science Foundation, we are pleased to launch the Graduate Student Travel Scholarship. This is the first Society-wide scholarship organized by graduate students for graduate students.

Scholarships are being awarded on a competitive basis. Applicants for the travel scholarship should submit an abstract for a first-author presentation at the Annual Meeting, demonstrate financial need to attend the meeting, and justify how attendance will benefit their careers.

Applications are now open and will close on 9 June with the close of abstract submissions. Apply today at https://www.agronomy.org/awards/view/218!

This is the inaugural year for this scholarship program, and the ACS Graduate Student Committee still needs support so it can become a permanent program! Please consider donating to the ACS Graduate Student Committee Travel Scholarship Program (a-s-f.org/content/graduate-student-travel-scholarship).
