Student travel awards are available and provide financial support for students participating in the Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders (SRCLD). These awards are funded by NIH Conference Grant # R13 DC01677 for students from the US and by private contributions to the symposium to support international students.

Students at the undergraduate, masters, doctoral and post-doctoral level are encouraged to apply for travel awards.

Priorities for funding are:

1. First author on an accepted paper or poster.
2. An author on an accepted paper or poster.
3. Submitted a paper for the program.
4. Student interested in attending, not presenting.

A number of awards have been set aside for under-represented minority students. International students studying in the United States must present the following: (1) passport (2) I-94 form (3) I-20 form (4) social security number or ITIN

The student's advisor must write a brief letter of support describing how attending the SRCLD would benefit the student in his or her professional interests. When completing an online travel award application, instructions for submitting the letter of support will be included in the confirmation email that gets sent to the applicant. If a paper application is completed, the support letter should be mailed to the address indicated on the application.

We anticipate that notification of awards will be sent in April. Those students who receive awards will be reimbursed at the close of the symposium providing we have all necessary documentation.

1) Any U.S. resident who accepts a travel award must provide his/her Social Security number and mailing address in order to receive payment. Awards are distributed at the close of the conference.

2) Any Non Resident Alien who accepts a travel award must provide either a Social Security number or the following three items: 1) Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), 2) Photocopy of passport (photo page), and 3) I-94 – Departure Record; if you’ve traveled from a country outside the United States to attend SRCLD (this record is provided in flight and our copy must show the immigration stamp). For those students with a Social Security number, awards are distributed at the close of the conference. Otherwise payment will be mailed within 4-8 weeks of the close of the conference.
