Financial Support
The SLAC Summer Institute is pleased to announce that partial support is available for a limited number of graduate students with demonstrated need. Support will usually be in the form of a waiver of registration fees, and, in a few special cases, help with lodging expenses at Stanford Guest House or Stanford campus housing.
To be eligible, the applicant must be a graduate student at a recognized institution, pursuing studies in the fields of particle physics, particle astrophysics, or cosmology, or a field which is closely related. If the applicant is not a citizen of the United States, applicants must contact Thanh Ly (tkl@slac.stanford.edu) regarding appropriate visa status before they apply.
To apply for support, please supply all the following information by July 24, 2009:
- Stating what resources you have secured for attending SSI and what additional support you need.
- Stating why you want to come to SSI09.
- An email of recommendation from your advisor, including your level of study and the topic of your research.
Applications should be sent to tkl@slac.stanford.edu. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Awards will be announced by July 29th. Your registration fee will be refunded if you paid before July 24th if you are selected.
