Description
The Waterbird Society’s Student Travel Awards provide financial support for current and recent students to attend the Society’s Annual Meeting. The Society is an international scientific society dedicated to the study and conservation of the world’s waterbirds. These awards support participation in its annual gathering rather than a separate research study or project.
Support can be used for any meeting-related expenses, giving recipients flexibility in meeting the costs of attendance. The application connects the requested support with applicants’ career goals and interest in the meeting. The 2026 meeting included plenary presentations, symposia, workshops, and student events designed to foster networking and professional development among scientists and conservationists.
