For possible assistance in meeting other, unreimbursed conference expenses as well (hotel, flight, etc.), please explain your need for additional funding below. Whatever the grant (up to $500 total), you are expected to attend the entire conference and, if scheduled, to deliver a paper or participate on a panel.
