GSA Undergraduate Travel Awards

Applications are now closed.

Overview

To promote excellence in undergraduate research and education, GSA established this travel award, which supports travel costs for undergraduate members who are presenting at and attending a GSA conference.

Application Process

The GSA Undergraduate Travel Awards have two rounds of applications per year; one for GSA conferences occurring between January 1 and June 30, and another for GSA conferences held between July 1 and December 31. The application site will have a link above when it opens.

When the application period is open, there will be a link to the application form on this page. In their applications, applicants must include a letter of recommendation. The letter must be from the PI of the laboratory in which they are conducting research or another professor or supervisor familiar with the applicant’s research.

Eligibility

Applicants must be undergraduate GSA members. Recipients may only use the award to fund their travel to GSA conferences.

Support the Undergraduate Travel Award fund

The Undergraduate Travel Awards are made possible by generous contributions from our donors. Please consider contributing to support our community’s early career members.
