Description
The Mycological Society of America (MSA) Student Travel Awards support students traveling to the society’s annual meeting to present their research through papers or posters. Administered by the Travel Awards Committee, the awards focus on meeting participation as a way to further students’ research and study, rather than funding a separately defined research project. Awards honor notable predecessors in mycology.
The program also connects meeting participation with communicating research to the wider MSA community. Recipients contribute a short research article written for a general audience, which may appear in Inoculum or other society venues, including the MSA website. This gives students an opportunity to share their work beyond their meeting presentation.
