SLSA will provide a limited number of travel awards for underfunded members presenting in the Ratio Ethica conference and in SLSA streams at the 4S conference.

TRAVEL AWARDS for Ratio Ethica: SLSA provides a limited number of travel awards for underfunded members presenting at the annual conference. Members of SLSA who present at the annual conference in Brazil may apply for travel subventions by emailing their name, title of their SLSA presentation, an indication of how long one has been a member of SLSA, a postal address, and any information about their funding for the conference to the Executive Director carol.colatrella@lmc.gatech.edu by August 1, 2026; put SLSA USP Travel Grant in the subject line of the email. Please provide estimated travel expenses and the amount of support (if any) anticipated from other sources. If you have received travel support from SLSA in the past, please include information about that support (when and how much). SLSA officers will review applications and approve funds for as many as our budget permits; preference will be given to student members and those members most in need. Each person awarded funds will receive a US check after the conference. SLSA funds can be used to defray hotel, registration, transportation, or other travel expenses.
