Students from the local meeting site and current members of the SSAR Student Travel Awards Committee are excluded from applying for a travel award. Applications must be postmarked by May 15, 2000. To be eligible, the presented paper must be the results of research conducted by the presenter. The research must have been done while the student was in either an undergraduate or graduate degree program. The presentations will be judged by the SSAR student prize committee.
Students can only win the award once.
Please indicate the category to which you are submitting your abstract on the abstract form. If you are a Master's or Ph.D. student with research results, consider participating in the annual competition for the Herpetologists' League Award for Graduate Research. There are six prizes to be won. Note that noncompliance with any of these requirements will result in disqualification. The judges will review the extended abstracts and pick up to six finalists for the rest of the competition.
