Sponsored Student Travel Awards – New!

US-IALE Student Travel Award

Ten $500 travel awards will, for the first time, be made available for students. We’re excited about this opportunity to increase student attendance at the US-IALE conference. These awards have been made available by local sponsors of the 2009 US-IALE conference, including the U.S. Geological Survey, Cooperative Research Units Program, and the College of Natural Resources, the Ecology Center, both of Utah State University. All of these organizations are in one form or another involved in the training and education of students for future conservation positions, many of which necessarily involve understanding landscape-level processes.

Students applying for a US-IALE Student Travel Award will be required to submit:

1. The application form (Download Adobe PDF | Microsoft Word)
2. A cover letter (1 page maximum) containing:
   1. A short description of student's overall graduate research and relevance to broadly defined landscape ecology,
   2. A brief summary of the student's professional goals, and
   3. A brief statement about how the travel award will benefit the student during his or her graduate process
3. A copy of the student's abstract that was submitted for the conference, and
4. A short Curriculum Vitae.

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

US-IALE Student Travel Awardees are not eligible to receive NASA-MSU Professional Enhancement Awards during the same conference year. Students interested in applying to the NASA-MSU Awards Program must submit a separate application, following the submission guidelines for the NASA-MSU Awards.

All Student Travel Award applications are due to Anita Morzillo, Awards Committee Chair, at iale2009awards@cnr.usu.edu by 15 November 2008. Awardees will be notified by 15 December 2008.
