Student Travel Funds

Travel Awards are available to assist students presenting an abstract (in either an oral or poster session) at the XXIV ISAC International Congress. ISAC members (either active or registering for the Congress) enrolled in a program leading to a doctoral degree, M.D., Ph.D., D.V.M., D.O., D.D.S. or equivalent are eligible.

The value of the student travel award is at the discretion of the Membership Services Committee but will not exceed $1,000. The Committee reserves the right to waive the Congress registration fee as part of the award. Students who are not members of ISAC and who are successful in their travel award application will automatically become members of the ISAC but will not receive the journal Cytometry. It is the responsibility of each approved applicant to cover any additional cost for attendance at the Congress not covered by this travel award.

To apply for the student travel fund, you must submit an abstract and complete the online Award Application. The deadline for travel award applications is December 3, 2007.

Reimbursement is distributed by the ISAC Office in Bethesda, MD, following recipients’ participation in the meeting. No travel award funds are distributed prior to the conclusion of the meeting.  Details will be provided to all award recipients with their award notification.
