ASNY travel

Travel awards (up to $500) are available to graduate and undergraduate
students at any of the member institutions who have been awarded
observing time at an optical or radio observatory and who need some
travel support to get to the observatory. Awards are also available for
travel to specialized workshops or summer schools. To make an
application send a letter to Dr. Chris O'Dea (electronic submission preferred, surface mail address below), containing a request for
the funds and a copy of the letter awarding the observing or computing
time. A copy of the observing proposal should also be included. In the
case of workshops or summer schools, a statement of the importance of
the event to the student's research or education should be included as
well as a copy of the announcement and program or the URL of the
relevant web pages. In each case a letter or email should be submitted
by the student's faculty advisor supporting the proposed travel.
Typically, awards are limited to two a year on a first-come basis.
