Graduate Student Travel Grants

The AMS, with support from the AMS Next Generation Fund along with the National Science Foundation, accepts applications for partial support for two types of AMS meetings:

AMS Spring 2025 Sectional Meetings

• 2025 Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting:  March 8-9, 2025, Clemson University, Clemson, SC

  2025 Spring Central Sectional Meeting:  March 29-30, 2025, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS

  2025 Spring Eastern Sectional Meeting:  April 5-6, 2025 UConn, CT Convention Center and Marriott Downtown, Hartford, CT

  2025 Spring Western Sectional Meeting:  May 3-4, 2025, California Polytechnic, San Luis Obispo, CA

Applications for any one of these four sectional meetings will be accepted and considered as a group. This program accepts applications from current full time doctoral students at U.S.-based institutions. No person may receive a sectional travel grant more than once.

No applications are being accepted at this time. AMS Spring 2025 Sectional Meeting Travel Grants will open in January 24, 2025 on MathPrograms.org.

The Joint Mathematics Meetings Travel Grants

This travel grant application is now closed.  It will re-open in September 2025.

This program supports selected doctoral students in mathematics at U.S.-based institutions who are in their last two years of study.

To be eligible for consideration for an AMS Graduate Student Travel Grant to the JMM, applicants must:

• Be doctoral students in mathematics in their last two years of study or have earned the PhD between August 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025;
• Reside and study/work in the United States;
• Have a home address that is outside a 50-mile radius of the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, WA;
• Have an institution mailing address that is outside a 50-mile radius of the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, WA.

All information about the Joint Mathematics Meetings and AMS Sectional Meetings can be found in the Meetings section of the AMS website. Please take note of deadlines for papers; travel grant applicants or awardees are responsible for making their own travel and meeting arrangements.

For travel support recipients, the AMS expects to reimburse actual, allowable expenses up to the stated amount of the travel award and after all requirements for reimbursement are met. If the proposed travel does not take place, no reimbursement can be made. Trip insurance cannot be reimbursed. Note that the AMS expects to reimburse tickets purchased two weeks in advance so if travel conditions are uncertain, consider waiting for that point. If opting to purchase a ticket even later than that, please include documentation of what the two-week advance purchase fare would have been, since the amount reimbursed cannot exceed that. If travel rules or procedures change, changes will be posted here and current awardees will be notified by email.

The travel grant program is administered by the Programs Department. For questions, please contact the AMS Programs Staff.
