Graduate Student Fellowship Program
The
IEEE Photonics Society established the Graduate Student Fellowship Program to
provide Graduate Fellowships to outstanding Society student members pursuing
graduate education within the Society field of interest (electro-optics,
lasers, photonics, optics, or closely related fields). Up to ten Fellowships of
$5000 each will be awarded, based on the student membership in each of the main
geographical regions:
|
|
Americas - Europe/Mid-East/Africa - Asia/Pacific
|
| |
|
Prize:Up to ten Fellowships of $5,000 each will be awarded
every year.
Eligibility: Fellowship applicants must be an IEEE
Photonics Society student member pursuing a graduate education within the
Society field of interest. Students should normally be in their penultimate
year of study at the time of application and be planning to submit their thesis
on a timescale of 6 to 18 months after the application is submitted (i.e. those
applying in May 2008 would normally expect to defend their thesis during
2009).
Schedule: In a given year, application packages will be
due at the Photonics Society Executive Office by 30 May and recipients will be
notified by 30 July of the same year. The Fellowships will be presented at
the Photonics Society Annual Meeting.
Award Committee: The Society Membership Committee will select
the Fellowship recipients.

StudentTravel
Grants
The Photonics Society provides 10
Travel Grants annually to enable students who present papers to travel to
the following conferences: Photonics Society Annual Meeting, OFC (Optical Fiber
Communication Conference), CLEO (Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics),
CLEO/Pacific Rim, CLEO/Europe, OECC (Optoelectronics and Communications
Conference) and ECOC (European Conference on Optical Communication).
A recipient should be a full time degree-seeking
student, sponsored by a Society member, who is the first author and presenter
of the paper.
Applications are due approximately 2-3 months before the particular meeting.
Applicants should include a sponsorship letter from the faculty advisor, a
short statement (200 words or less), describing the significance of the work to
be presented, and a travel budget indicating the availability of sufficient
funds to supplement the Society award. Applicants should indicate their Society
membership status. Preference will be given to Society student members. The
recipients will each receive a minimum of $500 and up to $1500 towards travel
and lodging expenses to the conference location and a complementary conference
registration.
The Photonics Society Students Travel Grants committee will notify the
recipients about six weeks prior to the conference date.
