Description
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Travel Grant Program supports women mathematicians attending domestic or foreign research conferences in their fields of specialization. Established in 1988 and supported by private donors, it provides full or partial travel and subsistence support for a single meeting or conference.
The program aims to advance applicants’ research and increase their visibility through opportunities to discuss mathematics, confer with researchers connected to their work, and present research where the meeting allows. By enabling more women to attend research meetings, AWM also seeks to expand the pool of potential speakers at subsequent conferences and address the persistent absence of women speakers at some meetings.
