While all graduate student section members attending the ASA meeting are welcome to apply, students presenting in the HoSST sessions will be given priority. For details on how to apply, refer to the section announcements sent by email.

The HoSST section invites graduate student section members to apply for funding to cover travel and accommodations expenses for ASA's 2026 meeting in NYC. We have two travel grants available to cover expenses for up to $450.
