Division of Computational Physics: Travel Awards

Division of Computational Physics Travel Awards is for the students and postdocs who are presenting a talk in a DCOMP-sponsored or co-sponsored session at the APS April Meeting. They are invited to apply for a DCOMP Travel Award where they can have the chance to be part of the meeting. At the same time, this is a great opportunity for them to win the grant of travel awards.

The travel grant will be received by any students or postdoc who will present an invited talk at a DCOMP-sponsored or co-sponsored session applying for it. The application is required for the students or postdocs who are going to present contributed talks. The application requires a letter of support from their research advisor.

Eligibility
