Scholarships and Travel Grants

Historically, the AREADNE Conferences have not offered travel grants or scholarships. Instead, we work very hard to keep the student and post-doc registration fees as low as possible for everyone. When we do have funds available, details are given in the list below.

•	For United Kingdom based students and post-docs, we will be able provide some support for 2014, thanks to a generous grant from the Wellcome Trust. Please contact us by email for details. As of 2014-05-25, these funds have been depleted.

•	For United States based students and post-docs, we will be able provide support for 2014, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation. The exact amount will be determined by the number of requests, but is anticipated at USD 300 to 400 per person, and will take the form of a travel award provided after the conference.

•	For other participants, the first place to check for travel support is the student's or post-doc's home institution which often has departmental funds to attend conferences. Additionally, scholarships and travel grants are at times available from institutions such as the ones listed below, some of which are specific to women or minorities. Note that many of these institutions do not have publicly announced travel grants, but that funds are sometimes available upon special application.
