Graduate Student Travel Grants

Have you considered all of the opportunities available to graduate students at the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM)? Thinking about job options? Want to listen to talks by some of the great researchers in your field? The JMM is 2011's launching point for the mathematical sciences.

The AMS, with funding from a private gift, is accepting applications for partial travel support for graduate students attending the Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans, LA, January 6 - 9, 2011.

This program is open to full-time graduate students (in good standing) in a mathematical sciences department at a North American institution. A form signed by a representative of the department, agreeing to matching funding, will be part of the application package. Applications will be evaluated by a panel of mathematical scientists.

The awards, not to exceed US$500, will be provided on a reimbursement basis. It is expected that awards will be made late in November 2010. Those who receive awards will be given travel vouchers to submit after the travel is concluded.

Any meeting attendee must complete and pay for a meeting registration as usual. The meeting registration fees will not be reimbursable under this grant.

The deadline for submitting applications is to be announced. Awards or decline notifications will be made by email on a date to be announced.

All information about the Joint Mathematics Meetings can be found in the Meetings section of the AMS website. This travel grant program is being administered by:
