These awards are to be allocated primarily
according to financial need as judged by the cheapest
return airfare to the conference destination and degree
of alternative financial support. Applicants must be
presenting work at the conference to be eligible for an
award. Grants will be awarded only if funds are
available. Funds are only available to support travel to
conferences. The precise number and value of awards will
vary from conference to conference, such that as many
students as possible are at least partially supported
for travel expenses.
The purpose of the award is two-fold:
(1) assist students in travel expenses to attend
conferences related to sea turtles and
(2) reward outstanding academic and research
performance. Academic merit is the primary criteria for
the award. However, travel expenses of the individual
applicants will be taken into consideration.
