PSNA Student Award Programs

The Phytochemical Society of North America provides professional development opportunities for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers through opportunities for research presentations (oral or poster) at its annual conference.  The society has travel award, the Frank and Mary Loewus Student Travel Award, and presentation award programs to support this professional development activity. 

Frank and Mary Loewus Student Travel Award – These financial awards are to provide some assistance to help support the cost of travel to the annual meeting.  Students and postdoctoral researcher are eligible to apply for travel awards, but they must be giving a presentation of their research (either a poster or an oral presentation).  Application is made when registering for the meeting and is done on the registration form.  Funds are limited, so not everyone will receive support.  Awards, which vary in amount based on the number of applicants) are presented at the conference banquet.

Presentation Award Program – Up to two (2) awards are presented at each meeting for the best student and/or postdoctoral researcher presentations.  Awardees receive a certificate and a financial award in the amount of US$250 each.  Awards are presented at the conference banquet.
