This award will support participation by graduate students in the 2017 V.M. Goldschmidt Conference in Paris, France, during August 13-18, 2017. This travel grant will enable the best and brightest students from the US and US Territories, students who might otherwise be unable to attend due to financial constraints at their home institutions, to benefit from all the advantages this meeting has to offer at this turning point in their respective careers. The Goldschmidt conference is the premier venue for geochemistry and the chosen students will be exposed to the latest advances in the field of geochemistry. The conference offers an excellent opportunity for networking of students who are close to graduation and will be entering the workforce. In addition to oral and poster presentation in 19 theme sessions, students can participate in field trips and workshops associated with the conference. Applications will be collected from the students, then reviewed and ranked by a volunteer committee of scientists. Twenty-four students, who are presenting their work at the conference, will receive $1,250 each toward travel expenses. Considerations for the award are the preparation of the application package, the demonstrated need for the funds, the selection of a diverse pool of applicants based on gender,representation and geographical distribution. Every effort is made to encourage underrepresented minorities and people with disabilities to apply for funding.

该奖项将支持研究生参加 2017 年 V.M.戈德施密特会议于 2017 年 8 月 13 日至 18 日在法国巴黎举行。这笔旅费补助金将使来自美国和美属领土的最优秀、最聪明的学生（这些学生可能因本国院校的财务限制而无法参加）在他们各自职业生涯的转折点上，受益于这次会议所提供的所有优势。戈德施密特会议是地球化学的首要场所，被选中的学生将接触到地球化学领域的最新进展。此次会议为即将毕业并即将进入职场的学生提供了一个绝佳的交流机会。除了 19 个主题会议的口头和海报展示外，学生还可以参加与会议相关的实地考察和研讨会。将从学生那里收集申请，然后由科学家志愿者委员会进行审查和排名。在会议上展示作品的 24 名学生每人将获得 1,250 美元的旅费。该奖项的考虑因素包括申请材料的准备、资金的实际需求、根据性别、代表性和地域分布选择多样化的申请人。我们尽一切努力鼓励代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人申请资金。
