Meeting Grants

The Division for Planetary Sciences offers two types of travel grants to support attendance at DPS 58. At least 30 travel grants may be awarded at $500-$1500 each. 

• The Hartmann Student Travel Grant supports student presentations at the annual DPS meeting. (Postdoctoral scholars may also be eligible, but students are prioritized.) These travel grants are intended to provide a supplement that enables the student to be able to present at the annual meeting, especially in person. 
• The Underrepresented Minority (URM) Communities in Planetary Science Travel Grant supports attendance by students and professionals who are members of groups that have had inadequate access to the planetary science community. 
• The DPS’s Susan Niebur Professional Development Fund provides financial assistance to qualifying members in order to facilitate their meeting attendance by offsetting costs for child care, elder care, spousal care, etc. at the meeting location or at home during the DPS conference.
