- Be enrolled as (1) a full-time undergraduate student or (2) a full-time graduate student who has accumulated fewer than 30 credits at a U.S. institution; and
- Be a member of PME by the travel funding deadline of 10/17/2023.
Additional Details:
- PME National Council will work to recognize outstanding presentations, as we have done in the past before COVID.
- Co-presenters can each receive funding as long as they meet the above guidelines.
- There is no cap on the number of speakers that can receive funding from any one chapter.
- PME funding will not be given to “delegates” from a chapter who are not presenting in either of the PME Contributed Paper Session or the AMS-PME Undergraduate Student Poster Session.
- Check out the post on the PME website which contains the above information and more.
Walkthrough for Submitting an Abstract and Applying for PME Funding:
- Presenters will submit their abstract directly to the AMS at https://meetings.ams.org/math/jmm2024/cfp.cgi.
- Scroll down to PME (PI MU EPSILON); BEGIN A SUBMISSION, and click the link.
- Login and/or make an account.
- Select either the Paper Session or the Poster Session.
- Be sure to include all co-presenter information if co-presenters will also seek funding through PME.
- Once you complete your abstract submission you will receive an Abstract ID#.
- This Abstract ID# is needed to apply for the PME Undergraduate Travel Grant which you do by visiting https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1478.
- One application should be made by each individual who is requesting support, whether they are in a group project or a one-person project. Every co-presenter must submit their own travel grant application.
