ASN Graduate Student Travel Awards

The ASN is offering financial assistance to facilitate graduate student participation at the Evolution conference in Cleveland in June 2026. Graduate student members of the ASN can request to be considered for a $500 US travel award. To be eligible, the student must present a talk or poster and must not have received the travel award in the previous year. Applications are made during conference registration and will be accepted until midnight Eastern Daylight Time on April 15, 2026. Recipients will be randomly selected from the list of applicants and all applicants will be informed of the outcome by email by April 22 at the latest (i.e. ahead of the early registration deadline of April 15). Society membership status will be verified prior to awards being given, so please ensure your membership is up to date (you can check here). Funds are given out at the conference.

Student members of both the ASN and SSE can apply for both this and the SSE graduate & postdoc registration waivers, but can receive a maximum of one. Please click here for additional information on this and other means of financial support.
