Student Conference Grants

The Executive Board of AASP is committed to supporting student-oriented professional meetings and may award up to eight grants for a maximum of $500 per year. The purpose for these grants is to help students defer costs associated with regional conferences (e.g., provide seed money) that promote student presentations and/or student-oriented sessions to discuss professional issues.

Grant Criteria

Grant applications must demonstrate they are student-oriented, the budget is specific and appropriate, and other funding sources have been investigated. Student-oriented will be defined as:

  • Giving students an opportunity to present their research (e.g., 75% of presentations made by students)
  • Having a low student registration fee ($50 or less)
  • Providing student-oriented sessions (if other speakers are included)
  • Planning student-oriented sessions (e.g., student meeting)
  • Seed money is not to be used for alcoholic beverages

Submission Guidelines

  • For all conferences, please complete the application by November 1. Notification will be sent approximately by January 1.

Presentation Tips

Student members may apply for conference grants online in the member's area.
