Description
The Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) Undergraduate Student Travel Awards support participation in the Society’s Annual Meeting, helping students attend and share their work through a poster or oral presentation. This is meeting-attendance support rather than a separate grant to conduct a research project. The program is sponsored by the SFS Student Resources Committee (SRC) and funded exclusively through its annual fundraising activities.
The SRC aims to provide six awards each year. Two awards are reserved for students from minority-serving institutions and primarily undergraduate institutions, making support for these students a stated priority within the program. Awards are partly disbursed as registration fee waivers.
