NSSA Student Travel Awards

Students are encouraged to apply for a ONE TIME travel award from the Neutron Scattering Society of America. This award is to assist in student travel, lodging and/or registration to a North American conference where the student is presenting a poster or an oral presentation of scientific work that primarily involves Neutron Scattering. As this award is to encourage the development and networking of students with the neutron scattering community, these awards are meant for only neutron-scattering specific meetings (eg: not the ACS, APS, MRS, ACA, etc).

These travel assistance awards are meant to further the NSSA roles to stimulate, promote, and broaden the use of neutron scattering in science and technology and to carry out educational activities that support the Society’s goals.

Applicants must submit an application form and must meet the following criteria:

Students must be enrolled as full-time students at a US institution

Awards will only be granted once to an individual

An abstract for the conference must be submitted, and accepted in order to receive funding

Awards will be up to but not exceeding $500/student. Limited funds are
available.

Reimbursement will require submission of all original receipts for conference related expenses (e.g. lodging, transportation, meals, or registration)

Travel awards will NOT be applied to the ACNS meeting

Requests can be received by the NSSA at any time but must be received at least 2 months before the meeting. The NSSA will respond within 1 month.

Applicants must be NSSA members

The completed application form must be e-mailed as an attachment to the NSSA Membership Secretary, Greg Smith:
