EPS Student Travel Awards
The goal of theEPS Student Travel Award program is to foster maximum student participation and to recognize students with superior conference papers. The Travel Awards are intended to assist students to attend the EPS sponsored conferences.
All grants are available to apply towards actual travel expenses, including airfare, hotel, and meals. Grants will be awarded competitively based on abstracts submitted by student authors. The student who is named as the primary author of each winning abstract will receive a travel grant.
Costs that are directly tied to conference attendance are reimbursable up to limits set by the award and in accordance with EPS travel limits and guidelines.
Eligibility: For all conferences, the competition is open to all full-time graduate students enrolled at an accredited institution in a program of study within the scope of the conference. The student must be listed as the primary author on the abstract. A maximum of two authors (one per paper) from any one institution will receive a travel grant.
ECTC Student Travel Award

ESTC Student Travel Award
Description: The student travel grant program for ESTC awards up to 6 grants, at least 2 of which should go to women and at least 1 of which should go to a student from a country historically underrepresented at that conference.
EPTC Student Travel Award
Description: The student travel grant program for EPTC awards up to 6 grants, at least 2 of which should go to women and at least 1 of which should go to a student from a country historically underrepresented at that conference.
DTMES, EPEPS, EDAPS and SPI
Description:
DTMES: Up to 8 local students.
EPEPS: Up to 7 students based on other financial sponsors providing matching funds.
EDAPS: Up to 8 local students and 2 international students
