[Vision Sciences Society]

Each year VSS grants up to 20 Student Travel Awards for excellent
contributions from graduate students. Awards of $500 are given to eligible
students on a competitive basis to help defray the cost of attending the
annual conference. 

To be eligible for consideration, each applicant must be the first author of
a submitted abstract (both talks and poster presentations are eligible) and
a current 2010 student member of VSS. Past award recipients are ineligible.
You must indicate that you are applying for a Student Travel Fellowship when
you submit your abstract.

To apply for a Student Travel Award: 

1) Check the box indicating that you are applying for a Student Travel Award
when you submit your abstract (deadline is December 1, 2009) 
2) Submit a curriculum vitae (CV) and other personal information
3) Provide a statement of support from your advisor. 

The student's CV and the supervisor's statement of support are due not later
than 12/7/09.

Complete application instructions can be found at

Awards will be determined by the VSS Board of Directors, based on an
assessment of the applicant's submission, the supervisor's statement, and
the scientific merit of the work to be presented. All competing abstracts
will be scored by the VSS Abstract Review Committee.

The 2010 VSS Student Travel Awards are generously sponsored by
Elsevier/Vision Research.
