InterPore Student Travel Awards

InterPore Student Travel Awards are given to help students gain the experience and exposure that comes from attending and presenting at InterPore conferences. The travel awards are intended to help students defray some of the costs of their attendance. The travel grants include up to 300 Euros towards travel costs as well as free conference registration. The awards are funded by the InterPore Foundation, and made possible by generous donations from InterPore members.

Eligibility

Any full-time student in good standing is eligible to receive an InterPore Student Travel. The applicant must be an InterPore member. Top priority will be given to students giving an oral or poster presentation at the conference, with second priority to students who are co-authors of papers or posters to be presented at the conference. Only students traveling more than 100 miles to the conference site are eligible for an award.
