Financial Aid

A limited amount of financial aid is available to help pay for attendance at the Telescopes from Afar conference. It is provided to participants based primarily on the merit of their abstracts (oral or poster) and on demonstrated need. Financial aid may be granted for registration fee and/or hotel accomodations for up to 4 nights.

We do not expect to be able to provide financial support for air fare. Awards will not cover the banquet or guest fees, nor will it cover extra hotel charges beyond those for the basic room plus tax.

In order to apply for financial aid, you must register for the conference by December 15, 2010. Financial aid applicants are required to submit an abstract, and to provide the information given below in an email to
