The participation and contribution of students are an important part of each AEA annual meeting. A number of student-oriented services and activities will be offered in conjunction with this year's meeting in St Louis. The AEA Board of Directors has funded two types of competitive travel scholarships available to students. To be eligible for either type of scholarship, you must be able to demonstrate that you are enrolled as a full-time student at the time of the conference, and be the first author on your paper or presentation.
Funding is an issue for everyone, especially students.
Students who volunteer at the conference receive discounted rooms. These rooms will become available on July 1. Specially reduced-price workshop tickets are available for students. These workshops provide an ideal opportunity to meet and learn directly from leaders in evaluation.
