We all know how expensive travel and accomodations can be, especially for PhD students with little or no funding. Because of this, ICA matches up to $300 in travel funds for each division. The ECD has to spend $300 of our yearly budget to get that extra funding, which we do. Depending on who is identified—students with the highest rated and accepted papers, from distant countries (from the conference site), and with the financial need. If you are a student who fits this description, contact the Division Chair.
These awards are determined by the past chairs (once we have some) or the current chair. They first take the 4 or 5 highest rated student papers in the division, see if the student has won the award previously, and review them considering the review parameters from the conference paper system. Usually 2 top student papers are awarded. Students receive a paper award, recognition in the ICA Newsletter, recognition at the annual business meeting, and on the ICA ECD web site.
