Travel Grants for Students and Young Scientists

AGU has obtained a grant from the National Science Foundation to assist the travel of students and young scientists from the United States to the following International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) meetings. This support provides opportunities for students and young scientists to meet and interact with scientists from throughout the world.

The total number of travel fellowships is limited. The amounts will vary depending on geographic location and the recipient's other funding.
