AAPT Travel Grants
(the application period is closed)
AAPT has set aside funds to help members of the physics education community defray the cost to attend the AAPT 2023 Virtual Winter Meeting (WM23).
Travel Grant Eligibility
- AAPT professional and student members who are registered for the WM23 are eligible for grants.
- The National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSHP) members are eligible for diversity registration grants with consideration given to AAPT members. Applicants must be registered to be considered for an award.
- A portion of the funds will be given to K-12 and Two-Year College faculty who are from underrepresented groups and/or from institutions whose students are predominantly underrepresented. (For information about racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in our discipline, see the bottom of the SP&P webpage.)
