The Latin American Travel Grants are intended to help defray the cost of housing and meals at ABS meetings. They are restricted to Latin American graduate students enrolled in programs in Latin American institutions, who will be presenting a talk/poster at the ABS meeting. Given these restrictions, priority will be given to Ph.D. students who are attending an ABS meeting for the first time and who have not received a Latin American Travel Grant in previous years.
