Carleton Finite Fields Workshop (May 21-24, 2019) Funding Application

The purpose of this form is to allow   (junior) invited speakers, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students to be considered  for financial  support which will  cover (partially) the travel and  accommodation expenses related to the participation at the workshop.

This opportunity is possible through a grant from the Fields Institute and the Simons Foundation. Note that awardees  will need to pay for their expenses ahead of time and get reimbursed after the conference.

Application Process

Applications for travel support should include the following:  A cover letter, which gives a brief summary of research interests and accomplishments and describes the applicant's  reason for wanting to attend the conference and mention qualification under the above preference criteria. 

A CV, containing basic information such as degrees earned, current affiliations and list of publications. PhD students can include relevant coursework, projects, grades, and any other information that the student feels is relevant to support their application.

In addition, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows need to submit a a supporting letter from a current advisor. This  should be only as long as necessary to convey the relevant information. It should confirm that the PhD student or  postdoctoral fellow is in good standing, and briefly describe the applicant's research area. It would also help if the  letter could indicate how the applicant would benefit from attending the workshop and why the applicant is in need of a travel grant.

NOTE: All required files must be uploaded as *one PDF file*.
