Applications Open: TBD, 2025
Application Deadline: TBD, 2025

The American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics (APS DPP) is offering a limited number of student participation grants to enable DPP student participation at the 2025 annual meeting. This offer applies to students who present their research at DPP 2025.

Participation grant recipients must be currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, or an undergraduate program at a U.S. or international institution and conducting cutting-edge research in plasma physics.

If funds allow, a few highly qualified national undergraduate students may be considered for a DPP grant.

Advisors of prospective candidates should email a one-page statement of need to the Program Chair Carolyn Kuranz with a copy to the DPP Administrator Saralyn Stewart.

The statement of need should include a brief description of the student’s research and how participation at the annual meeting would benefit the student. The statement should thoroughly justify the student’s qualifications for a grant.

Include the student’s information:
  • First Name and Family Name
  • Affiliation
  • Postal Mailing Address
  • Email Address
  • Presentation Title (denote oral or poster)

DPP Policy: An advisor must apply for only one student and a request is appropriate only if the student would not participate, or have difficulty participating, without a grant. A student who is first author/presenter is more likely to receive a grant than a student coauthor. The email message from the advisor should thoroughly justify the student's qualifications for a grant.

The student grant recipients will be informed prior to the early registration deadline.
