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 $250 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 Fall conferences, complete application by September 30. Notification will be approximately October 15.
  • For Spring conferences, complete application by January 31. Notification will be approximately February 15.
