We are now accepting applications for Student Travel Grants to assist with travel costs to Laser Science XXV in San Jose, CA, Oct. 11-15, 2009. The deadline for receipt of complete applications is September 1, 2009.

Through this program, DLS will provide partial funding (up to $500) for a limited number of graduate students to attend and participate in Laser Science XXV. To be eligible, an applicant must be a full-time graduate student, a member of the Division of Laser Science, and the author or co-author on an oral or poster paper at the Laser Science meeting. To make these funds as widely available as possible, some priority will be given to requests for a lower level of support and to distribution of these grants to students from different institutions.

Applicants should submit an application and a recommendation form from a faculty advisor.  Applicants are required to FAX or email their acceptance letter or attach it to the application upon receiving the official notice. Only one award will be given per research group. Checks will be issued at the meeting. Hotel accommodations will be covered at up to half the conference rate for a double room.
