Estimated Expenses:

SSSP will support estimated air coach fare, auto travel at 67 cents per mile, and travel by bus or train ONLY.

Please provide a breakdown of your anticipated costs to attend the meeting. Membership dues and registration fees will not be funded, and not all of the expenses for attending the meeting can be paid from these funds. SSSP strongly suggests that other funding sources be sought to supplement your participation. Pre-registration for the meeting must be paid before funds will be disbursed to the applicant. Award money will be distributed after the recipient provides a copy of their travel visa. Persons unable to attend the meetings MUST return all monies to SSSP.




The committee will use the lowest available fare as the basis for its estimates of travel costs.

The Board of Directors approved requiring those who receive travel fund awards to stay at the conference hotel, Palmer House Hilton. SSSP will support a shared room only at the SSSP conference hotel (roommate matching service will be available). Our single/double room rate is $229 plus tax per night. Exceptions will be made if extraordinary personal circumstances justify an individual room.


SSSP will support up to $15 US/day.



Applicants will receive an e-mail confirming the receipt of their application. If you do not receive an e-mail within two weeks of submitting your application, please e-mail the chair Dr. Walda Katz-Fishman. Applicants will be notified by the Administrative Officer if their application was accepted/rejected no later than May 15, 2025.
