Student and Post-doc Travel Awards
Limited funding will be available to defray travel expenses for undergraduates, graduate students and post-docs attending NAOC 2016.

 

Student Presentation Awards
A number of awards will be given for the best student presentations, both oral and poster, on the last day of NAOC 2016. A committee comprised of representatives from all the host societies will judge the presentations, and awards will be based on the quality of the research as well as the clarity and presentation of the paper. 

To be eligible for travel and student presentation awards, applicants must be:

4. Applicants must be the first, and presenting author, of a contributed oral or poster presentation. Presentations may include additional co-authors, and individual talks in symposia are also eligible for travel and presentation awards.
