Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers Sectional Meeting Travel Grants to help graduate students with limited funding participate in its in-person Spring and Fall sectional meetings. These gatherings provide opportunities to present research, connect with the mathematical community, and explore professional pathways. The grants address financial barriers associated with traveling to the meetings rather than funding a separate research project.
Support of up to $400 is available for attendance at any in-person AMS Spring or Fall sectional meeting. The program focuses on enabling graduate students to access the research-sharing opportunities and professional connections these meetings offer. It is distinct from the AMS travel grant program for the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM).
