With the NSF funding, we are able to support a limited number of undergraduate, graduate
students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the workshop. Undergraduate students
are not required to give a presentation to receive the travel award. Graduate students
and postdoctoral fellows, who apply for the travel award, must present posters or
give five-minute oral presentations on their respective research closely related to
the theme of this workshop.

1. The student name, institution, undergraduate major or graduate program
2. For undergraduate students: a paragraph (up to 200 words) stating why attending the workshop is beneficial to
the student’s future research.
For graduate students: a paragraph (about 200 words) stating the student’s current research and why attending
the workshop is beneficial to the student’s research, along with the title and abstract
(to be submitted at the Registration page) of your research.
3. The total estimated budget that includes:
The distance that the student must travel to Augusta for the workshop
The methods of transportation the student will use – by car, by air, or by bus
