Student Award Opportunities

Student Presentation Awards

The Fourth Symposium on Cloud Physics is proud to provide outstanding student presentation awards at the AMS 107th Annual Meeting in Denver, CO 10-14 January 2027. Monetary awards of up to $200 will be distributed for oral presentations and poster presentations in addition to a PDF certificate from AMS. Students must be enrolled at a college or university at the time of submission and must be the lead author and personally present the work at the meeting. Submitters should indicate their interest in competing for an award during abstract submission. Award recipients will be informed of the committee's decision by early February.
