Description
The American Association of Geographers (AAG) offers Student Travel Grants to help students attend its Annual Meeting in person. The grants subsidize travel expenses and cover in-person registration for students presenting a paper or poster, or participating in a panel. The support is for travel associated with sharing work at the meeting, rather than for the research or project activities leading up to a presentation.
The program is part of AAG’s broader range of student awards and grants. It focuses on helping eligible student members reach the meeting and make their scheduled contributions. Recipients are selected randomly through a lottery among eligible applicants who submit by the deadline.
