3rd High Energy Astrophysics Workshop for Amateur Astronomers

Travel Grant Application

We're sorry, the deadline to apply for travel grants has passed.

This application is for a travel grant to the 3rd High Energy Astrophysics Workshop for Amateur Astronomers, to be held in conjunction with the 94th Spring Meeting of the AAVSO.

NASA's Swift mission is funding travel grants to the HEA workshop for those who agree to take back what they learn and share it with their local community. This can be in the form of talks to your local amateur club, school, museum, library, etc. It also includes articles written for newsletters, newspapers, magazines, etc. The goal is to share this information with your community. Feel free to be creative!

The travel grants will be awarded in the amounts of $450 and $800 and depends on the applicant's proximity to the meeting site. Grants will begin to be awarded as they come in until all grants have been distributed or March 11, 2005, whichever comes first. Therefore we recommend that applications be submitted as early as possible. Since the grant money comes from NASA, only residents of the USA are eligible to apply.

Award recipients will be notified within 7 business days of their application. The travel grant funds will be distributed to recipients at the meeting itself.

I attended the 1st High Energy Astrophysics Workshop in Huntsville, Alabama.

I attended the 2nd High Energy Astrophysics Workshop in Waikaloa, Hawaii.

If you attended either of the previous workshops, please describe any outreach activities you participated in since then to share what you learned at the workshop(s). If you have not, please describe any astronomy-related outreach you have participated in.

If you affiliated with an astronomical club, association or society please list them here:

Please describe your plan to use the information that you collect during the workshop to educate others about high-energy astrophysics (lectures at schools, space and science museums, civic clubs, science teacher workshops, plenetaria, articles in local newsletters, etc.).
