ACT Student Travel Awards
Graduate Students may apply for a Student Travel Award to the Annual Meeting at the time of abstract submission, which has a deadline of July 1. Awardees are required to attend the Annual Meeting where students will present their poster at the general poster session, in addition to a separate judging session for selection of the Furst Award winner (as noted below). The Student Travel Award consists of $1000 cash prize, a certificate (presented at the Annual Meeting Awards Luncheon), a Welcome Reception ticket, and waived registration to the Annual Meeting. Apply by selecting the box for Student Travel Award at the time of Annual Meeting abstract submission (you must be a current graduate student to qualify).
ACT Student Furst Award
The Student Furst Award, established through a generous contribution from the late Dr. Arthur Furst, is given to the best student poster presentation at the Annual Meeting. It consists of a $2000 cash prize and plaque (presented at the Annual Meeting Awards Luncheon). Students who apply for the ACT Student Travel Award are automatically considered for the Furst Award, but must participate in the separate judging poster session.
