Description
The Braslau Family Travel Grant is designed to help US-based and international students and early career physicists overcome financial barriers to attend the APS Global Physics Summit. The grant provides both a registration waiver and up to $1,750 in travel reimbursement, fostering professional development and networking at a major scientific meeting. Established in 2016, the grant is collaboratively administered by the Braslau Family, the APS Forum on Diversity and Inclusion (FDI), the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics (CSWP), and the Committee on Minorities in Physics (COM). The initiative encourages applications from underrepresented minorities and women, aiming to support a diverse and inclusive physics community.
