In order to ensure that AMS meetings are accessible to all that wish to attend, AMS is offering a variety of financial assistance programs. Please see the applications and their respective deadlines below.
In keeping with our goal to ensure that those who want to participate in the Annual Meeting can do so - the AMS supports a program to provide financial support for complimentary and reduced registration fees. There is a limited amount of funding available for this program. Those who can show financial need and/or are from professional groups that would typically not receive funding from their home institution to attend an AMS Annual Meeting will be considered. This financial support covers reduced or complimentary registration fees, it does not cover travel or lodging. To apply, please fill in the form by November 15th.

The American Meteorological Society is offering child care grants of up to $400 per family to assist conference attendees who will incur additional expenses by attending the Annual Meeting. Limited funds are available, and preference is given to applicants in the early stages of their career. As a secondary criterion, preference will be given to applicants who explain clearly why a grant to support childcare, dependent care or their own assistance is necessary. To apply, please fill in the form by November 8th.

Supported by the National Science Foundation
AMS is pleased to offer travel grants for faculty from Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) or Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). These grants are being funded by generous support from the National Science Foundation*.
From our annual meeting to specialty conferences, short courses, and events. AMS brings together atmospheric scientists, professionals, students, authors, educators, researchers, and weather enthusiasts from around the world to share research and collaborate. AMS meetings and conferences foster great minds from a diverse set of scientific disciplines. Attendees make career-long professional contacts and lifelong friends while learning from and engaging with top experts and colleagues around the world.
We invite applications from faculty at all career stages who can identify how participating in an AMS Meetings will benefit their research, teaching, or departmental leadership, and who would not be able to attend without this support. The AMS Faculty Travel Grant Program will cover conference registration, airfare, airport transfers, and lodging, plus an allowance for meals. You do NOT need to be an AMS member to apply, but you will need to create an AMS online profile. Any questions about the Faculty Travel Grant Program should be directed to Stephanie Armstrong, AMS Associate Executive Director at [email protected].
Applicants must be employed full-time by a U.S. academic institution.
The deadline for applying is 12 December 2024 (four weeks prior to the start of the meeting).
