The RSCA’s Student Travel Award (STA) provides funds for undergraduate students and their faculty mentors to present their collaborative work at a professional event appropriate to their academic field, such as a conference, recital, or exhibit.

The award can be used to cover the event's registration fee, travel to and from the event, and/or overnight lodging.

Funding

The award for students has two tiers:

• Students in the role of lead presenter can apply for up to $1000.
• Students listed as second (non-presenting) author can apply for up to $500.

Faculty mentors who co-present and attend the event with the student can also apply for up to $600.
