Students presenting a contributed paper as a first or sole author during the 2011 AES meeting are invited to apply for financial assistance to attend the meeting. All applicants MUST be members in good standing of AES (dues paid by January 1, 2011) and in at least their second year of membership. The maximum award will not exceed $500. Students are only eligible for travel assistance once per degree. Assistance will be need-based (when funds are limiting and the society is not able to fund all applicants).
