Share Your Experiences

Not everyone can make it to conferences, but all students deserve to gain the experience and insight from attending one! Apply for an SPS Reporter Award to win up to $300 for an individual or $250 per person for chapter reporters to help you attend a conference and write an article about what you learned. These 2-3 page articles will be featured on the SPS website and included in publications such as The SPS Observer or Radiations.
