Financial Support

The deadline for financial support applications has now passed.

There is a possibility of financial support for students and postdoctoral fellows to attend FPSAC 2016.
Any full-time student in good standing is eligible for consideration as are postdoctoral fellows. Top priority will be given to participants presenting talks or posters, with second priority to students who are co-authors of papers or posters to be presented at the conference. If funds remain, we will give consideration to other student or postdoc participants.


Please read the following details carefully, as they indicate important eligibility and application procedures.
Note that participants should also apply for funding from local sources and home institutions, as well as from any other conferences that they plan to attend in conjunction with FPSAC.
Support will partially cover travel, accommodation, and registration expenses. Recipients of NSF funding can be reimbursed for flights on US carriers only.
