Through Forest’s Student Travel Award Program, twelve students received travel stipends to support their presentations at conferences. From the program’s beginning in 2006, students have been able to apply for financial assistance from Forest Institute to help offset costs related to travel in presenting their research at regional and national conferences. More than $40,000 has been awarded to 151 students in support of their research projects over the past four years.
