Travel Grants

LPSC Travel Grant

The UT Center for Planetary Systems Habitability (CPSH) intends to support (travel and registration) a contingent of UT Austin students doing research in planetary science to attend the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, March 11-15, 2024, at The Woodlands, TX. Preference is given to students presenting at the conference but we also welcome graduate and undergraduate students wishing to attend to expand their research knowledge and to take advantage of networking opportunities.

If interested in joining the CPSH student contingent to LPSC2024, please send a few sentences describing your interest and goals for attending the meeting and an estimate for your travel budget along with any co-funding from your advisor or unit to Rhianna Moore (Earth and Planetary Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow, Jackson School). We welcome planetary science students from any college or unit.
