Description
The American Association of Geographers (AAG) offers Student Travel Grants to help subsidize travel expenses for students presenting at its Annual Meeting. The program supports in-person participation by combining travel assistance with coverage of meeting registration costs. Eligible presentation formats include papers, posters, and participation in a panel.
Support is tied to the student's participation and scheduled presentation at the Annual Meeting, rather than to carrying out a separate research project. The program serves active students in associate, bachelor’s, and graduate degree programs who meet its membership, travel-distance, and other funding requirements. Eligible applications submitted by the deadline enter a lottery for random selection.
