How applicants are selected

Priority goes to students chosen as Best Student Presentation Award finalists. Other considerations include whether you are presenting (oral or poster), how long you will attend, your degree goal and year, and prior GSA experience.

We encourage all graduate students to apply, as we strive to support a diverse group with national and international representation.
