Travel Award for First Year Graduate Students provides $500 for graduate students who are in the first year of their academic program (entered the program no earlier than fall of 2020) to support their travel to the annual meeting. Students must be members of HFES at the time of application. Applicants who submit completed applications will be selected randomly.
The
Student Presenter Award provides $500 to students who are authors of accepted papers or posters for the HFES Annual Meeting to support their travel related expenses. The student must be listed as the presenting author of the associated work at the time of submission. Students must also be members of HFES at the time of application. Nominations for this award must be submitted by a faculty member in the student's program. The nominator does not have to be an advisor or coauthor of the work. Travel awards will be assessed based on need and, in the case of multiple qualified applicants, randomly.
