International Travel AwardsIn order to encourage and facilitate the participation of international students to participate in SPSSI’s biennial conventions, we sponsor a limited number of International Travel Awards. Applicants are not required to present research at the conference. Up to 5 grants, in the amount of $500 each are typically awarded to international scholars for travel to the SPSSI convention.
To be eligible for a travel award, an applicant must:
Exclusions: Winners of the SPSSI Graduate Student Travel Award or Diversity Travel Award are not eligible for concurrent or future International Travel Awards.
Award Presentation: Awardees must attend the SPSSI convention in order to receive the award. Travel awards may be used to cover all conference-related expenses up to a maximum of $500, including transportation, lodging, food, and conference registration. Award payments are made only in the form of post-conference reimbursement for documented expenses with original receipts. Application Deadline: The deadline to apply for 2008 Diversity Travel Awards is Friday June 6, 2008. Send all applications to abalkissoon@spssi.org. Decision Notification: SPSSI will notify all applicants of the award decisions by Friday June 13, 2008.
