Reminder (Due Apr. thirtieth) IISE 2026 Student Travel Award Alternative

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce a scholar journey award alternative for the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) Annual Conference this 12 months.

This award will partially help college students excited by attending the 2026 IISE Annual Conference and Expo, which shall be held May 16 –19, 2026, in Arlington, TX. This award will help college students’ convention registration charges and partially help journey/lodging prices to encourage participation. Our objective is to help college students throughout a variety of Industrial and Systems Engineering disciplines, with specific emphasis on college students who would in any other case be unable to attend the convention because of a scarcity of journey help. The following award standards shall be used to pick out recipients of the scholar journey awards.

Eligibility and required supplies:

·       Applicant should be an undergraduate or graduate scholar enrolled in a college within the United States.

·       Awardees are required to attend the three-day convention and take part within the technical periods and different occasions set by the award organizing committee. Details of those actions shall be offered within the award notification.

·       An announcement (most 300 phrases) describing the applicant’s monetary want and the way convention attendance will help their educational {and professional} targets.

·       A letter of help from a school member on the applicant’s residence establishment.

If the variety of eligible candidates exceeds obtainable funding, the next extra standards shall be used to prioritize choices:

·       Applicant is presenting on the convention

·       Applicant is collaborating in “Best Track Paper Competition”, “Best Student Paper Competition”, or “Student Poster Competition” session within the convention.

·       Applicant has submitted a full paper for publication within the convention proceedings.
