Student Support

We have limited funding to potentially support attendance of a few participants with financial needs. This is generally intended for presenters who can secure some but not all of their own funding, although we will consider applications from all participants.

Eligibility: Applicants to this grant must be a student at the time of physically attending AFT'26 to qualify. Generally, travel grants are awarded to PhD students pursuing research in areas of interest to AFT. We rarely consider master's students and do not consider postdocs.

Your application must include the following:

• A resume with complete contact information and correct email address.
• A short personal statement (up to 250 words) detailing the relevance of the conference to your research and career development, a breakdown of estimated expenses (conference registration, travel, and lodging), and an explanation of why you cannot attend AFT without a travel grant.
• A letter (maximum 1 page) from your advisor (or faculty contact) confirming your good standing at the institution, explaining the benefits and potential contributions of your attendance at AFT, describing your current funding status and need for the travel grant, and committing to supplement the travel award to cover remaining costs.

Please submit your application by Aug. 26th, 2026, via email to aft26-chairs@mlist.is.ed.ac.uk including your CV, statement and reference letter as a single PDF.
