Student Scholarships

Deadline: April 2

Click here to go to on-line application form.



Student scholarships are offered as a way to promote significant student involvement in the EBSD 2008 Topical Conference. Scholarships of up to $500 will be available to cover the cost of conference registration, travel, and lodging. Funds currently exist for ten scholarships, but more may be available, depending upon resources. Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of the aptitude of the applicant and the benefit that the conference will have in the applicant's research and career development. Submission by the applicant of an abstract to present his or her work with EBSD at the meeting is desirable, but not required as we wish to involve students at various stages of their studies.

Only complete scholarship applications, submitted by the application deadline of April 2, 2008, will be considered. A complete application is comprised of:

  • completion of the on-line registration process for the meeting (click on "Registration" link above);
  • completion of the on-line scholarship application form (link below), for which the student applicant provides (i) information about his or her degree program, progress, and thesis topic, (ii) contact information for a faculty advisor, and (iii) a succinct statement of how attending the conference will contribute to the applicant's research or career; and
  • a reference from the student's faculty advisor, which will be solicited by the organizers.

Reminder! A Pre-Conference Tutorial , geared toward newcomers to EBSD, will be held on the day before the technical program begins: May 20, 2008 . This tutorial should prepare those with no prior experience to grasp the concepts and advances discussed during the technical program.
