Susan Gay Graduate Student Conference Travel Scholarship 

The Susan Gay Graduate Student Conference Travel Scholarship, named after Susan Gay in honor of her extraordinary service to AMTE over many years as Conference Director, President, Secretary, and Board Member-at-Large, was established to provide graduate students financial support to attend the AMTE annual conference. Each year a minimum of four graduate students will receive the award, which will cover the cost of graduate student early registration and an additional $400 to offset the cost of attending the conference. To qualify, one must be a doctoral student making steady progress toward completion of their degree. Applications will be screened initially based on the eligibility of the application and then put into a lottery based on geographic location.
