Unaffiliated solicitors alert
We want to alert you that you may encounter false claims that are connected to our upcoming meeting, the APS Division of Plasma Physics (DPP) Conference via email. The message is a scam attempting to collect personal or financial information and was not sent by us.

APS reminds you to only register and book your housing directly through this DPP Meeting website, and that it is solely the responsibility of the attendee to register and book their hotel.

We know this kind of activity is frustrating. Thank you for staying alert and helping us maintain a safe and supportive environment for our community.

DPP Grants

The American Physical Society (APS) and the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP) offer several grants.
 

Nominees and award and officeholders are expected to meet standards of professional conduct and integrity as described in the APS Ethics Guidelines. Violations of these standards may disqualify people from consideration or lead to revocation of honors or removal from office.

Applications Open: Wednesday, July 9, 2025
Application Close: Friday, August 15, 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 selected student grant recipients will be informed at the end of August 2025.
