The American Arachnological Society (AAS) Student Travel Grants are designed to enable high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to attend and present their research at the annual AAS Conference. These grants specifically support student presenters who lack sufficient funding for travel, allowing them to share their research, engage with the arachnological community, and benefit from professional development opportunities. The program aims to foster participation from emerging arachnologists and broaden access to the Society's annual meeting.
