GPAP Student Travel Grant
This year the Topical Group in Plasma Astrophysics (GPAP) of the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics (APS DPP) is offering five $1000 travel grants to enable GPAP student participation at the 2021 annual meeting in Pittsburgh. This offer applies only to students who attend in-person and who present their research at DPP 2021. Undergraduate and graduate students who will be presenting their research on topics in plasma astrophysics are eligible.
Prospective candidates should email a maximum one-page statement of need, motivating the request for a student travel grant, to the GPAP Chair Nuno Loureiro with a copy to the Chair-Elect Matthew Kunz. The statement of need should include a brief description of the student’s research and how participation at DPP 2021 would benefit the student. The statement should thoroughly justify the student’s qualifications for a grant.
The application deadline is Oct. 22nd 2021. Please write “Application for GPAP Travel Grant” in the subject line.
Include the student’s information:
- First Name and Family Name
- Affiliation
- Name and email-address of Advisor
- Mailing Address
- Email Address
- Presentation Title (denote oral or poster)
A request is appropriate only if the student would not attend, or have difficulty attending, without a student travel grant. A student who is first-author is more likely to receive an award than a student coauthor. The email message should thoroughly justify the student's qualifications for a travel grant.
The selected student recipients will be informed by Oct. 29th, 2021. To receive the travel grant a selected student recipient will have to provide 1) Payment Request Form; 2) Bank information - Direct Deposit (US bank account) Wire Transfer (non-US Bank account); 3) Tax Form - W-9 US Citizen/Resident - W-8 non-US persons. The travel grant will not be paid should any of these documents not be provided by the selected student recipient.
