Student Award Opportunities

The 39th Conference on Hydrology will sponsor a competition for students presenting their own original research in hydrology. Student presentations will be judged on scientific content, presentation quality, and overall effectiveness. The competition will award first, second, and third prizes, consisting of $200 for first place, $100 for second place, and $50 for third place for both oral and poster presentations.

Contenders for the award must satisfy the following requirements:
1. Be enrolled at a university (either at the undergraduate or graduate level) at the time of the presentation.
2. Be the lead author and presenter of the work.
3. To enter the competition, you must indicate your desire to participate in the competition when submitting your abstract.
