Financial Support

Some funds are available to partially support travel costs of participants, especially for graduate students and junior faculty without other support. (Funding is very limited and priority will go to those working in the Midwest, broadly construed.) The deadline for applying for funding has expired and all funds have been allocated.

You may request funding through the registration form in case more funding becomes available.

Travel and Local Information
