The Bridges Organization is once again offering support to undergraduate and graduate students who wish to travel to the conference. We are able to provide some financial assistance for full-time students who wish to travel to this year’s conference in Helsinki and Espoo, Finland. Scholarships up to $500 (USD) are available based on the applicant’s institution.
The Student Travel Scholarship also includes free conference registration. The number of these scholarships will depend on the number of applications received. The Bridges Organization encourages students to find matching funds and additional support at their home institutions for any other conference-related expenses.
This scholarship award is not applicable to current and visiting students from the host institution. However, students from the host institution are eligible to receive free registration if they wish to participate in the conference. Only one student scholarship per paper or artwork will be funded, but the amount of one scholarship may be divided among student joint authors or artists.
The Bridges Organization encourages applications from all students who are interested in the interdisciplinary study of mathematics, art, and science. The award committee will give preference to students who
- Submit a regular paper, a short paper, or a workshop paper to the conference;
- Submit work to the Bridges Art Exhibition or Short Film Festival; or
- Are available to volunteer at the conference (e.g., work at the registration desk or help with Family Day).
Applications are due by May 31, 2022.
To apply for the scholarship, please complete the online application form. The completed application must include a letter from the student’s department chair indicating their status as a full-time student. This letter can be sent to Professor Sujan Shrestha at the University of Baltimore, Maryland, USA by email: sshrestha@ubalt.edu.
