Incubic/Milton Chang Travel Grant

Funded by an endowment from Milton and Rosalind Chang, this program provides 10 grants of up to $1000 each to enable students who present papers to travel to CLEO and the Frontiers in Optics/OSA Annual Meeting. Grants are awarded to the presenter and usually the first author of the paper.

All of the following information MUST be included in the grant application: a letter of support from the student, a letter of support from the student's advisor, an estimated budget for the trip and a copy of the paper abstract. Students should also include home mailing address and email address. U.S. students should include their social security number, which is required to process the check. Both letters of support should describe the importance of the applicant's work and must clearly demonstrate the need for the grant. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Grant applications for CLEO must be submitted on or before March 7, 2008. These grants are not available for students who present at QELS.

Grant applications for Frontiers in Optics must be submitted on or before August 4, 2008. Funds are distributed at the conference.
