Description

The Hoshaw Travel Awards, administered by the Phycological Society of America (PSA), help undergraduate and graduate students cover travel expenses to the society’s annual meeting. The program supports meeting participation, academic progress, and professional development in phycology—the study of algae—rather than providing direct research funding.

The application emphasizes the impact of students’ research within phycology and in a broader context, their long-term potential, and their commitment to contributing to the field. Supervisor or mentor recommendations should explain how attending the particular PSA meeting will advance the applicant’s development, including relevant contributions to phycological education, industry, scholarship, or service. Students who will present research at the meeting receive priority when other factors are equivalent.
