RE3 Workshop 2017
Open Calls
About
We are pleased to be able to sponsor stipends for student travel awards. The purpose of the travel award program is to help undergraduate and graduate students travel to attend the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RE3) workshop. This sponsorship will include mandatory participation in the form of a poster or a talk as part of the workshop. The poster session will be held on Monday, May 22, 2017 at the Muhammed Ali Center in Louisville.
We anticipate making student travel awards in the amount of $200 to support travel to attend the RE3 Energy-Water-Food Nexus Workshop in Louisville, KY May 21-24.
Eligibility
Applicants must be enrolled full time and be in good standing in a graduate or undergraduate program in a STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) field at a regionally accredited university or college located in the United States or Canada.
A research paper or poster must already have been accepted for presentation at the workshop. Multiple author submissions are acceptable, but the student applicant must be the designated presenter of the research. If there are multiple student authors, only the first author may apply for these funds. If the student applicant has been accepted to present more than one paper or poster, she or he must choose only one paper/poster presentation to use when applying for this award.
Each individual student may receive a maximum of $200 plus a $50 fee waiver for workshop registration. A maximum of $1000 dollars will be available to support students from any given college or institute.
