SSP Conference Travel Grant Program

If you are a student in a publishing or library/information science program, or have been working in this field for three years or less, please consider applying for a grant to attend the SSP Annual Meeting (see details below). If you’re not a potential candidate, but know someone who is, please share this announcement with your fellow-student, colleague, or protégé.

SSP’s travel grant program has grants for up to ten successful applicants. The awards will support travel to and attendance at SSP’s 30th Annual Meeting, and membership for 2008. Read about the experiences of previous grant winners at

Successful applicants will be granted free registration at the Annual Meeting and will be eligible for reimbursement of up to $1,000 for travel and lodging expenses incurred to attend the meeting.
Applications must be completed online (see the link to the online form at http://www.sspnet.org.) The application deadline is March 7, 2008. Grant awardees will be selected and notified by March 31, 2008.
