2021 ESA Meeting Registration Award – ESA Asian Ecology Section

The ESA Asian Ecology Section offers six registration grants for student members presenting talk or poster at the 2021 ESA Annual meeting. The award is designed to assist student members with covering their registration costs. The winners of the award will each receive $55 (the registration fee for ESA student members).

The deadline for priority consideration for the award is April 30, 2021. Apply early if you wish to take advantage of this opportunity. All applications received after that date will be considered on a rolling basis, as funding is available. If you are applying for funding, do not register for the meeting until you have received notification about a grant from ESA.

Eligibility requirements:

  1. A student is defined as an undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in a higher educational institution.  
  2. The student must be an Asian Ecology Section member at the time of the application (to sign up, go to https://eservices.esa.org/).
