Graduate Student Travel Support for ISHPSSB 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah

ISHPSSB supports travel to the biennial meeting for graduate students 
using funds made available through memberships, donations to the 
society, and proceeds from past meetings. Some NSF funding may also 
be available.   

The Society's allocation of support for graduate student travel is 
determined by these priorities: (1) students who are presenting 
papers at the biennial conference or participating in ISHPSSB 
governance; (2) students who have never received previous funding; 
and (3) students who did not receive funding at the previous ISHPSSB 
meeting.

The Society has the financial means to support only a portion of 
travel costs for students whose applications are successful. Award 
amounts will depend on the total amount of funding available to 
ISHPSSB, the relative cost of travel between the students' locations 
and Salt Lake City, and the ability of applicants to access 
additional resources. For ISHPSSB 2009 in Brisbane, award amounts 
averaged about USD 600.

Application forms are available at 
<http://www.ishpssb.org/meeting.html>http://www.ishpssb.org/meeting.html. 
Send applications and supporting documentation to Lisa Gannett, 
ISHPSSB Treasurer: via email attachment to 
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]; via fax to 
Department of Philosophy, Saint Mary's University, (902) 491-6286; or 
via regular mail to Department of Philosophy, Saint Mary's 
University, 923 Robie St., Halifax, NS, B3H 3C3, Canada.

For your application to be considered complete, you must (i) provide 
documentation of your travel costs (copy of receipt, travel agent 
quote, screen shot from airline website or site such as Expedia or 
Travelocity, etc.) based on best available fare, and (ii) ensure that 
your graduate advisor sends an email to 
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask] confirming the amount 
and source of any additional financial support you have available and 
that you are currently enrolled as a full-time graduate student in 
good standing.

The deadline for receipt of complete applications is April 15, 2011. 
This deadline is firm: NO LATE OR INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE 
ACCEPTED.

N.B.: Once you send in your application, it is your responsibility to 
keep your file up to date by providing prompt notification of any 
changes in your circumstances (attendance at the meeting, status as a 
full-time graduate student in good standing, itinerary, estimated 
travel costs, expected financial support, etc.). The Travel Support 
Committee will process the applications and notify applicants of the 
results by early to mid-May. Any award that you are offered at this 
time will be contingent on the information that has been provided and 
subject to adjustment should your circumstances change. To receive 
your award, you will be required to submit a completed reimbursement 
form and original travel receipts (including all boarding passes) 
within one month following the conference.
