Graduate Student Travel Support Program for the 2016 V. M. Goldschmidt Conference in Yokohama, Japan, June 26-July 1, 2016

该奖项将支持研究生参加2016年6月26日至7月1日在日本横滨举行的2016年V.M. Goldschmidt会议。这项旅行补助金将使来自美国和美国领土的最优秀和最聪明的学生，那些可能由于本国院校的经济限制而无法参加的学生，在他们各自职业生涯的这个转折点上，从这次会议提供的所有优势中受益。Goldschmidt会议是地球化学的主要场所，被选中的学生将接触到地球化学领域的最新进展。会议为即将毕业并即将进入职场的学生提供了一个绝佳的交流机会。除了19个主题会议的口头和海报展示外，学生还可以参加与会议相关的实地考察和研讨会。申请将从学生中收集，然后由一个由科学家组成的志愿委员会进行审查和排名。地球化学学会提供了额外的资金，这样总共有24名学生将在会议上展示他们的工作，每人将获得1250美元的旅费。颁发奖项的考虑因素包括：申请材料的准备、对资金的明确需求、根据性别、代表性和地域分布选择多样化的申请者。尽一切努力鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人申请资助。

This award will support participation by graduate students in the 2016 V.M. Goldschmidt Conference in Yokohama, Japan, during June 26- July 1, 2016. This travel grant will enable the best and brightest students from the US and US Territories, students who might otherwise be unable to attend due to financial constraints at their home institutions, to benefit from all the advantages this meeting has to offer at this turning point in their respective careers. The Goldschmidt conference is the premier venue for geochemistry and the chosen students will be exposed to the latest advances in the field of geochemistry. The conference offers an excellent opportunity for networking of students who are close to graduation and will be entering the workforce. In addition to oral and poster presentation in 19 theme sessions, students can participate in field trips and workshops associated with the conference. Applications will be collected from the students, then reviewed and ranked by a volunteer committee of scientists. The Geochemical Society is contributing additional funds so that a total of 24 students, who are presenting their work at the conference, will receive $1,250 each toward travel expenses. Considerations for the award are the preparation of the application package, the demonstrated need for the funds, the selection of a diverse pool of applicants based on gender,representation and geographical distribution. Every effort is made to encourage underrepresented minorities and people with disabilities to apply for funding.
