ASA Student Travel Award

Student Travel Awards are intended to support and further the career development of students who are actively pursuing an academic degree in the field of sleep. Travel Awards will be based on scientific merit of an abstract submitted for presentation at Sleep DownUnder. Length of membership of ASA or ANZSSA will also be taken into consideration.
