student resources
Calling all students! Midwest SETAC offers several great options for financial support and awards to attend the Midwest Chapter meeting and the National SETAC Meeting.
Student Travel Award: Midwest SETAC grants several travel awards each year to encourage student participation and to help defray the cost of attending the annual Midwest Chapter Meeting. All students, including local students, are encouraged to apply. Applications are due March 10.
Best Student Poster and Platform Competition: Sponsored by our partners 3M and SC Johnson, this competition provides students with an opportunity to share their research with a wider, national audience. Students apply for the competition when submitting their abstracts. During the Midwest Chapter Meeting, the best student poster and platforms are determined by a volunteer panel of environmental scientists and Midwest SETAC members. The student winners are provided financial support to attend and present their poster or platform at the annual fall North America (NA) SETAC meeting. All students are encouraged to participate!
Legends Research Scholarship: In honor of a member of the chapter, Midwest SETAC offers this $500 scholarship to a student who has demonstrated the ability to perform original research in the field of either environmental toxicology or chemistry. All students are encouraged to apply, please review the requirements and consider submitting an application.
