NSSA
Student Travel Awards
Students are encouraged to apply for a ONE TIME travel award
from the Neutron Scattering Society of America. This award is to assist in student
travel, lodging and/or registration to a North American conference where the
student is presenting a poster or an oral presentation of scientific work that
primarily involves Neutron Scattering. As this award is to encourage the development
and networking of students with the neutron scattering community, these awards
are meant for only neutron-scattering specific meetings (eg: not the ACS, APS,
MRS, ACA, etc).
These travel assistance awards are meant to further the NSSA
roles to stimulate, promote, and broaden the use of neutron scattering in science
and technology and to carry out educational activities that support the Society’s
goals.

the following criteria:
