Travel and Local Support
SIAM has a limited travel support fund for graduate students and post-docs and early career researchers who wish to attend selected SIAM conferences. To find out more information, click here, if you are interested in a Student Travel Award, or here, if you are a post-doc or a young researcher. Complete applications must be received at the SIAM office no later than two months before the first day of the meeting for which support is requested (i.e., no later than September 3, 2007). Awardees will be notified by e-mail no later than five weeks (student awards) or four weeks (post-doc and early career awards) before the first day of the meeting.

In addition to the above possibility, the conference organizers also expect to have limited funds to assist with local/travel expenses for students, postdocs, and other young participants who have to pay a substantial portion of their own costs. Those of you who expect to be in need of support are encouraged to apply at your earliest convenience, but no later than September 3, 2007. Please note that we cannot provide any support in advance. We will decide about travel awards and send applicants a notification by October 5, 2007. Asumming there are sufficient funds to support participants, they can expect a partial reimbursement check by the end of January 2008. Support amounts, if any, will be based on need and on whether you received a SIAM travel support mentioned above. Students and postdocs with limited access to travel funds will be given preference.

Note: If you are not a US citizen or a permanent resident of the US, according to federal regulations, we will only be able to provide support if you hold a B1, WB, or J1 Visa (B2 visa is NOT acceptable.)
