Student Travel Grant

The IEEE Magnetic Society will award travel grants of up to $1,000 each to a limited number of students working in basic and applied magnetism. These grants are intended to partially offset travel costs to attend TMRC 2008. Support is for current graduate students only, including PhD candidates and those students in Masters only programs. Postdoctoral fellows, undergraduates or non-students are not eligible. Students who have previously received travel support from the Magnetics Society for any conference are also not eligible.

Preference will be given to students who are student Members of the Magnetics Society, nearing completion of their graduate studies and presenting conference papers. The student’s supervisor is required to be a member of the Magnetics Society.

The student’s supervisor must write a brief letter of endorsement for the applicant. Another second endorsement from a full member of the IEEE Magnetic Society is also required.

Applications and all letters of endorsement must be submitted before June 25, 2008. Please click here to download the forms and submit to tmrc2008@dsi.a-star.edu.sg with a subject line: Student Travel Grant for TMRC 2008!

Inquiries should be sent to the Student Travel Grants Co-ordinator: M. J. Carey, Hitachi GST, San Jose, CA (matthew.carey@hitachigst.com) or to tmrc2008@dsi.a-star.edu.sg with a subject line: Student Travel Grant for TMRC 2008!.

Shortly after the conference, grant recipients must submit a short account of their experience for possible inclusion in the IEEE Magnetic Society Newsletter. To learn more about the IEEE Magnetics Society visit www.ieeemagnetics.org
