Ecological Society of America Student Section

Attention all ESA students:

The ESA Student Section will support the attendance of national and international students to the 2010 ESA annual conference via travel awards. We expect to give out 3-5 awards of ~$250 for attendance of students within the US and 3-5 awards of ~$350 for students affiliated with institutions outside the US. The final amounts awarded to each individual will be a strong function of distance from the candidate’s Institution to the ESA annual meeting city (Pittsburgh, PA). These awards are extremely competitive, and we encourage submissions from students (undergraduates, Masters and Ph.D. students) in excellent academic standing. Because funding is very limited and because the overall goal of these awards is to allow the attendance of students who otherwise would not be able to make it to the conference, we do not encourage the submission of applications by candidates who can find funding through other sources.

The ESA Student Section just received a $2400 ESA Long Range Planning Grant in support to the activities that will take place at the 2010 ESA annual meeting. These activities include the Eco-Arts exhibit, travel awards, academic excellence awards and much more! Stay tuned because the calls for each award/contest will be made public very soon.
