Description
The Paleontological Society's travel grant program provides financial support to help its members attend the GSA Connects conference and other major meetings. The program is designed to foster diversity and inclusion within paleontology by enabling participation from groups historically underrepresented in the field, those in career transitions, and members facing financial hardship. These grants help ensure equitable access to networking and professional development opportunities at key scientific gatherings.
