Student Travel Awards

Travel Award for the NZSPB Annual Conference

A sum of $1000 or more is shared each year amongst student members who present material (poster or oral paper) at our annual conference. Each year the total sum is shared between student presenters, on the basis of the distance travelled to the conference, with preference given to those presenting oral papers rather than posters. Payments have generally been in the range of $100-$250 in recent years, which is usually insufficient to cover expenses but may help students in securing additional Departmental assistance. Larger amounts are offered when our annual conference is held in Australia. Funds are usually disbursed at the Conference.

Travel Award for Any International Conference

At least two awards of $250 or more are offered in February each year (first offered: 1997) for student members to present material at any international conference.

These awards will be re-advertised if they are not awarded early in the year, with unallocated funds continuing to roll over for subsequent application rounds. This money is intended to provide leverage for students attempting to gain additional funds from other sources.

Students wishing to compete for these awards must:
