The Bridges Organization is once again offering support to students who wish to travel to the conference. Our scholarship consists of $500 (USD) plus free registration.
Students who apply for a scholarship do not need to pay registration by the June 1 deadline for authors of accepted papers or artists with pieces accepted to the Art Exhibition. Your application for a scholarship is enough to guarantee your intention to participate. If you do not receive a scholarship, you will receive further information about registration and other deadlines.
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. We have limited funds available to support students, so please do not apply if you have the means to support your participation without a scholarship.
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 full-time degree seeking 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 serve as a volunteer assistant to an activity leader during Family Day on August 4, 1 – 4 pm.
Applications are due by May 31, 2024.
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.
