At SACNAS, we invest in top STEM talent. (That’s you!) Travel scholarships to the SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference are one aspect of our investment in your academic and professional success. Scholarships are available for students and postdocs to fund flights, hotel, and/or registration expenses to attend 2016 SACNAS.
Travel scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Read the information below for details and resources on how to best prepare your application.
For many of our students, 2016 SACNAS will be the first time you travel for a professional purpose – an exciting, yet slightly daunting concept. We want to provide you with all the support, information, and tools needed for this trip, which we hope will be the first of many throughout your STEM career.
Participation of postdocs at 2016 SACNAS is critical to the success of our meeting. Not only do you have the chance to present at breakout sessions, build your network, and connect with opportunities, you serve as role models and mentors for our student attendees. We know your funding is tight and we hope our travel scholarships will encourage your participation.

Based on grants from our federal partners, SACNAS currently has the most travel scholarship funding available for applicants in the biomedical and behavioral fields. This includes interdisciplinary students. Applicants from other disciplines are still encouraged to apply, but please note that these applications will be significantly more competitive.
