NSA Student Awards
The Prizes
NSA awards cash prizes for the best presentations by student NSA members at the Annual Scientific Meeting. Prizes are awarded for both oral presentations and poster presentations. Students are eligible for these prizes at any time during their studies. However, you can only win one oral and one poster prize during your student period.
Eligibility
To be eligible for these awards, you must:
- Be a financial student member of NSA, or have submitted an application to join NSA;
- Submit an abstract (formatted strictly according to the instructions) to the conference organisers;
- Indicate on the abstract submission form that you are entering for the student prizes;
- Register as a delegate for the ASM - online registration usually commences in August; and
- Complete your submission by the advertised deadline.
You may also apply for an ASM travel grant to help cover the costs of travelling to the ASM.
The online submission for abstracts, prizes and travel grants for the ASM usually opens in June.
