The Conference will offer travel grants to a limited number of students working in magnetism and magnetic materials. The grants are intended to partially offset travel costs to attend the 55th MMM Conference. The Conference grants will be in the amount of $750.

To be eligible for a Conference travel grant, a student must be presenting a paper at the Conference, the student’s supervisor must submit a letter of recommendation, and the student must not have previously received a Conference or Magnetics Society travel grant. Only one application per research group will be accepted. Preference will be given to students who are nearing completion of their PhD graduate studies, although a limited number of Conference travel grants will be awarded to Masters and Undergraduate students.

Application forms and instructions for all travel grants will be posted online at www.magnetism.org under "Student Travel," after the announcement of abstract acceptance in late September. The deadline for submitting applications and letters of endorsement is 5:00 PM eastern daylight time on October 1, 2010. Incomplete or late applications and endorsement letters will not be considered. Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision in November.
