Please note that financial aid is very limited and is therefore based on need; applicants must have exhausted all other avenues to fund their attendance at the workshop. NSPW financial aid is not an alternative and/or replacement for other sources of funding. Its purpose is to help people attend the workshop who would otherwise be unable to attend or would suffer considerable personal expense.
In making an application for financial aid, applicants must give full details of anticipated expenses and also an explanation as to why full funding cannot be obtained from other sources. In practice, financial aid is intended to cover the registration fee, and in a very small number of cases, a contribution towards transportation costs. Given the limited nature of NSPW financial aid, Ph.D. students, speakers and other students will get top priority. Remember: receiving unneeded financial aid may prevent the attendance of, or cause unreasonable personal expense to, a more needy applicant.
To request financial aid (please include an estimated amount for travel expenses) or for more financial aid information, contact both the Financial Aid Chair, Steven J. Greenwald and the General Chair, Abe Singer by the deadline.
A U.S. Social Security Number (SSN), U.S. taxpayer ID (TIN), or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is required in order to obtain financial aid without U.S. income tax being subtracted (please do not send this information with your initial application). If you do not have one of these numbers and do not know how to obtain one, please visit this IRS web page.
Also, due to requirements from our sources of funding, any airline travel paid for by financial aid funds must be booked on a U.S. flag-bearing airline unless there is absolutely no alternative (i.e., there is no U.S. flag-bearing airline that services your region or there are no economy seats available). If your application is approved and your travel is covered you must also get the lowest fares possible.
Notification regarding financial aid applications will be communicated to applicants on August 2, 2006 (in time for the early registration deadline). After approval, Recipients of financial aid must register on-line using the "Financial-aid Registration" option.
