Description
The Student Travel Grants program supports undergraduate and graduate students’ travel to attend the Cognitive Science Society’s conference. Sponsored by the Society and the Robert J. Glushko and Pamela Samuelson Fund, it funds conference participation rather than a separate research project. Support is available to student first authors of full-length papers accepted for presentation.
Awards take travel distance into account when determining the amount of support. Selection considers financial need and the quality of the conference submission, while seeking broad representation among academic institutions. The program connects assistance with travel costs to participation in the conference’s research presentations.
