These special awards, made possible by the support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Michigan State University (MSU), are available to students who are going to give an oral or poster presentation at US-IALE's annual symposium. Approximately 20 awards (up to $700 each) will be given to the selected students to cover expenses associated with attending the symposium. In addition, the selected students will have the opportunity to meet with some leading landscape ecologists at a special dinner gathering, to learn the latest developments in landscape ecology at the symposium, and to build professional networks with other symposium attendees.

Each year, commendations and cash awards are given for the best student presentations. Attached here is the form that will be used by judges for evaluating student presentations. To enter the competition, students sign up during the online conference registration process. More details here.
