--- ## Description The AMS Sectional Meeting Travel Grants provide financial assistance for graduate students with limited funding to attend the Spring and Fall 2026 sectional meetings organized by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). These meetings offer valuable opportunities for early-career mathematicians to present research, network with peers, and engage in professional development within the broader mathematical community. The grants are specifically intended for full-time doctoral students at U.S.-based institutions who might not otherwise be able to afford travel to these events. The program aims to foster the integration of emerging scholars into the professional mathematics community. --- ## Due Dates - February 6, 2026: Spring 2026 Sectional Meeting Travel Grants application deadline (closes on MathPrograms) - July 25, 2026: Fall 2026 Sectional Meeting Travel Grants application deadline (closes on MathPrograms) --- ## Funding Amount - The grant typically covers travel expenses associated with attending one AMS sectional meeting (Spring or Fall 2026). - Award amounts may vary depending on need and available funding. - Recipients are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be full-time doctoral students at U.S.-based institutions. - The grant supports in-person attendance at any Spring or Fall 2026 AMS sectional meeting. - Each individual may receive an AMS Sectional Meeting Travel Grant only once. - Awardees must make their own travel arrangements. --- ## Application Process - Applications are submitted via [MathPrograms.org](https://mathprograms.org/). - For Spring 2026, the application opens January 24, 2026, and closes February 6, 2026. - For Fall 2026, the application opens May 15, 2026, and closes July 25, 2026. - All applications are reviewed together after the closing date. - Applicants should prepare documentation demonstrating eligibility and financial need as specified in the MathPrograms portal. --- ## Additional Information - Grants are intended solely for travel to AMS sectional meetings in 2026; other conferences are not included. - Registration for the relevant sectional meeting is required to submit an abstract. - Awardees are responsible for all travel logistics. --- ## External Links - [AMS Sectional Meeting Travel Grants Program Page](https://www.ams.org/employment/student-JMM.html) - [AMS Sectional Meetings Information](https://www.ams.org/meetings/sectional/sectional.html) - [MathPrograms.org Application Portal](https://mathprograms.org/) - [AMS Grants & Awards Overview](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/grants-awards) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Details | |------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | General Inquiries | [ams@ams.org](mailto:ams@ams.org) | | Travel Grant Questions | [travelgrants@ams.org](mailto:travelgrants@ams.org) | | Phone | +1 401-455-4000 | | Contact Form | [AMS Contact Page](https://www.ams.org/about-us/contact/reach) | ---
