Qualifications:
- The student must be a Cognitive Science Specialist.

Interdisciplinary conferences such as Cognitive Science are included. In addition, conferences that focus on a particular discipline within Cognitive Science-e.g., Psychonomics, AAAI, AERA, LSA, the Boston University Conference on Language Development, etc.-are also included.
- Preference will be given to students who are presenting a paper over those who are giving a poster, and to both of these over students who are simply attending. Preference will be given to students who are first author of their paper. Finally, preference will be given to students who have not received a Cognitive Science travel grant in the past year.
How to apply:
-
The proposal should be a maximum of one or two pages, stating the conference that you will be attending, its importance in relation to your field of study, the date and location of the conference and the approximate amount of money necessary for travel and lodging costs. State whether your submission has been accepted and if so whether it is a paper or a poster. If not yet accepted, roughly when do you expect to hear from the conference? Include the title and abstract of the paper, and your role in its creation (i.e. first author, second author, etc.).
