In order to ensure that AMS meetings are accessible to all that wish to attend, AMS is offering a variety of financial assistance programs. Please see the applications and their respective deadlines below.
In keeping with our goal to ensure that anyone who wants to participate in an AMS Meeting can do so - the AMS supports a program to provide financial support for complementary and reduced registration fees. There is a limited amount of funding available for this program. Those who can show financial need and/or are from professional groups that would typically not receive funding from their home institution to attend an AMS Meeting will be considered. This financial support covers reduced or complimentary registration fees, it does not cover travel or lodging.
To apply, please fill out this form by 5 June 2024. Applicants will receive news of acceptance/rejection 1 week after the application deadline and must register by the Early Registration Deadline. If you apply for assistance, please do not register until you hear back from AMS.
AMS is pleased to offer travel grants for faculty from Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) or Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). These grants are being funded by generous support from the National Science Foundation.
From our annual meeting to specialty conferences, short courses, and events. AMS brings together atmospheric scientists, professionals, students, authors, educators, researchers, and weather enthusiasts from around the world to share research and collaborate. AMS meetings and conferences foster great minds from a diverse set of scientific disciplines. Attendees make career-long professional contacts and lifelong friends while learning from and engaging with top experts and colleagues around the world.
We invite applications from faculty at all career stages who can identify how participating in an AMS Specialty Conference will benefit their research, teaching, or departmental leadership, and who would not be able to attend without this support. The AMS Faculty Travel Grant Program will cover conference registration, airfare, airport transfers, and lodging, plus an allowance for meals. You do NOT need to be an AMS member to apply, but you will need to create an AMS online profile. Any questions about the Faculty Travel Grant Program should be directed to Stephanie Armstrong, AMS Associate Executive Director at [email protected].
Applicants must be employed full-time by a U.S. academic institution.
The deadline for applying is two weeks prior to the start of the specialty conference (19 July 2024).
