Sponsored Student Travel Awards

Ten (10) sponsored student travel awards, valued at $500 each, have been made available to support students to attend the 2011 US-IALE conference in Portland, Oregon.

Students applying for a travel award are required to submit:

1. A completed application form, available in PDF or DOCX
2. A cover letter (ONE page) containing:
• A short description of the student's graduate research and relevance to landscape ecology, especially managed ecosystems or managed landscapes;
• A brief summary of the student's professional goals;
• A brief statement about how this award will benefit the student’s graduate studies.
3. A copy of the student's abstract that was submitted to the meeting, and
4. A short (ONE page) Curriculum Vitae.

Students who submit an abstract but do not receive a travel award will automatically have their abstract included in the offered abstracts.

Applicants must be enrolled as a student at the time of the application deadline to qualify for a travel award. Students are eligible to receive one US-IALE sponsored student travel award per degree program. Sponsored student travel award recipients are not eligible to receive NASA-MSU Professional Enhancement Awards during the same conference year. Students who are interested in applying to the NASA-MSU Awards Program (http://www.csis.msu.edu/NASA-MSU.htm) must submit a separate application, following the submission guidelines for the NASA-MSU Awards.

All US-IALE sponsored student travel award applications are due to Anita Morzillo, US-IALE Awards Committee Chair, at awards.usiale2011<at>oregonstate.edu by 1 December 2010. Awardees will be notified in January 2011.
