A very limited number of scholarship applications are also evaluated for (not guaranteed) a $500 travel stipend (if local, $100 instead of $500).

Travel Stipends are a fixed amount. The payment is made after the conference has ended. Awardee can decide the use of the stipend. Receipts are not required. Suggested uses include airfare, airport transportation, meals not included in conference registration, airport parking, etc. There is no option to increase the stipend. Stipend payment is made via direct deposit. Stipend payment requires completion of any volunteer hours (if applicable) or poster session participation (if applicable). Stipend payment requires attendance and signature at the Travel Stipend & Reimbursement Session on Friday, March 19.
