Student grant program
Thanks to the sponsorship of the American Physical Society-Division of Physics of Beams (APS-DPB), a certain number of grants will be offered to students in the field of Accelerator Science and Technology to attend NAPAC2019.
The grants include a waiver of registration fees and shared lodging at the Radisson Hotel Lansing and a per diem allowance or dining vouchers. Students pursuing doctoral, master's, or bachelor’s degrees may apply.
Non-U.S. students must apply for a business visa.
Financial support will be available to a selected number of students registered for a PhD or degree in accelerator physics or engineering, to offset the cost of the conference registration fee and shared accommodation at the Radisson Hotel Lansing. Supported students will be expected to assist the speakers and delegates during the conference sessions and as well as registration formalities.
In order to be considered for support, students must register for the conference using the applicable student registration form and participate in the Student Poster Session on Sunday, 1 September 2019.
