Thanks to John Reynolds, and Fuller and Jane Moore, SBSE will offer several travel scholarships (in the amount of $200 each) to assist students presenting papers at Solar 2008, the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) annual conference, this coming May in San Diego, CA. This year ASES has generously offered a reduced student rate of $75 for scholarship recipients.

Travel Scholarship Criteria and How to Apply
To be eligible for a travel scholarship to ASES, an applicant must have an accepted paper for publication and present the work at the conference. The scholarships are not targeted at faculty currently holding teaching or practice positions. Interested students are encouraged to seek additional support from their home institutions (department, college, and/or university) to help defray travel expenses.

Travel Scholarship Applications:
Applications should address the following issues, which constitute our selection criteria. There is not a formal application that needs to be "filled out." Please submit 1 page, MAXIMUM!

b. Educational background: current, prior institutions and degrees
c. ASES Session: date and time of technical, invited or professional poster session
