Graduate Student Travel Award

 

The Graduate Student Travel scholarships are provided through generous contributions from members and several matches from the Agronomic Science Foundation. 

This program is the first of its kind because it is organized by graduate students for graduate students. These funds will be awarded to a select number of qualified students who plan to present research at the 2024 meeting in San Antonio, are unable to attend the Annual Meeting without additional outside financial assistance (not fully supported by the professor, department, or program), and can provide justification outlining how meeting attendance will benefit their careers.
