Student Travel Awards
Students and post-doctoral fellows may apply for a Marcia Brady Tucker Travel Award to help defray transportation expenses to the AOU annual meeting.
To be elegible, applicants must be:
- Sole author or joint author of a poster or oral paper presented by the student at the meeting.
- A full-time student or post-doctoral fellow. Students graduating the semester prior to the meeting are also eligible for either award. Undergraduate students are eligible for travel awards, though preference will be given to advanced graduate students.
- A member of the AOU at the time of registration. Students who are not currently members are encouraged to become members, and thereby become eligible for student awards, before registering for the meeting. Students may also be eligible for AOU Student Membership Awards.
Applications will be judged based on quality of research/abstract and also standing of student: students near the end of a degree program are usually given priority over those at earlier stages. Marcia Brady Tucker Travel Awards have a limit of two per lifetime. Students may receive both a research award and a travel award in the same year.
