This year SASP is pleased to offer 10 x $500 awards Margaret Foddy Postgraduate Travel Awards to assist postgraduate students with their travel costs to the SASP 2024 conference in Canberra.
Decisions regarding the distribution of the awards will be based upon answers provided to the questions on the attached application form and applicants’ accompanying CV. These decisions will be made by members of the SASP Margaret Foddy Postgraduate Travel Award panel and will be final.
Although we recognise the variable and multidimensional nature of fairness, we will, nevertheless, strive for fairness in our decisions in accord with our understanding of the values pursued by SASP. Among other things, we will consider the likely costs incurred through attendance, opportunities for alternative funding, past receipt of this Travel Award, and future eligibility for this award (e.g., final year students are unlikely to be able to receive this award in the future).
To be eligible, students must meet the following criteria:
- Have paid membership in SASP (https://sasp.org.au/membership-join/)
- Study in Australia or New Zealand
- Submitted an abstract to present (individual paper, symposium paper, poster) at the conference
To apply for the SASP 2024 Margaret Foddy Postgraduate Travel Award, you must submit as a single merged PDF document:
- A completed Margaret Foddy Postgraduate Travel Award Application Form
- A copy of your Curriculum Vitae
- A statement from your postgraduate supervisor in support of your application and, in particular, confirming your answer to the question on the application form regarding your access to other forms of financial aid to attend the 2023 SASP conference
Please send all information no later than Friday 13th September 2024 – to Liz Summerell [].
All applicants will be advised of the outcome in October 2024.
