help subsidize travel costs for graduate students presenting papers at the 2012 ASEEES<a></a> Convention. We are especially committed to subsidizing those graduate students who are attending the convention for the first time or who have no local institutional
resources for travel support. Students may only receive ONE Davis Graduate Travel Grant over the course of their graduate studies.</p>
