Grants...
Travel Grants
The objective of the BGSA Travel Grant is to provide funding to facilitate travel of a biology graduate student to a scientific meeting, workshop or other professional development activity. One grant is awarded per period and a student may receive only one grant per degree. Awards of up to $300 per student (contingent upon funding) will be paid upon the submission of original travel receipts. Travel Grants will be reviewed using a point-based system adopted by BGSA.
Application deadline --> Tuesday 1 December 2009 @ 5 PM
For Applicants:

Finishing grants may be used to cover the cost of electronic thesis/dissertation fees and other costs associated with finishing a MS or PhD in the Division.
