Description

SIAM is dedicated to giving students and early career professionals the support they need to be successful. That's why we award $240,000+ in conference travel funding yearly to these two groups, so they can gain the experience and exposure that comes from attending and presenting at SIAM conferences. 

The application process is competitive, and those making a presentation at the conference will have priority over non-presenting attendees.

Do NOT register yourself for the conference until after you receive a status update regarding your application. Travel awards typically include complimentary registration, and registering ahead of time can complicate the process.


Submit an Application 

To log in, you will need a SIAM ID and password. Select "SIAM Account Single Sign On" from the log in option menu. You will be redirected to the SIAM Single Sign On screen and will need your SIAM credentials. 

If you do not have a SIAM account you can create one by visiting my.siam.org

Creating a SIAM account is free and you do not need to be a member. If you already have an account and do not remember your password, you can reset it using the same link.


Student Travel Awards

Any full-time student in good standing is eligible to receive an award to assist their participation at SIAM conferences.

SIAM Student Travel Awards consist of $650 for domestic travel and $800 for intercontinental travel. 

The awards (unless otherwise noted in the award letter) come with free registration. SIAM staff will provide clarification. For conferences that do not include free registration, $50 is added to the award total.

  • Letter of Recommendation - A letter from your advisor or senior colleague noting the applicant's achievements, potential, and any special circumstances that may justify receiving an award.
