Breakwell Student Travel Award </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> <P><CENTER><B> John V. Breakwell Student Travel Award <BR></b></CENTER></P><BR> <p>The American Astronautical Society Space Flight Mechanics Technical Committee also announces the John V. Breakwell Student Travel Award. This award provides a maximum of $1000 to cover travel expenses for U.S. and Canadian students planning to attend the AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics tivity in spaceflight mechanics and astrodynamics by providing financial support to one or more students presenting papers at each AAS Spaceflight Mechanics Meeting and AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Conference. </p> <p><b>Eligibility:<br></b> Any student presently enrolled at a U.S. or Canadian college or university (full- or part-time) who is submitting an extended abstract for a technical paper and who will be presenting that paper if it is accepted for the conference. The student must be a member of AAS. Previous winners of this award are not eligible.</p> <p><b>Criterion: </b><br><br> Merit (based upon the extended abstract and the advisor's letter of introduction). Each student must also submit a curriculum vita and a budget.</p> <p><b>Award:</b><br> The cash award will cover all expenses for travel, lodging, meals, and conference registration (maximum total amount of $1,000 per awardee). In addition, each awardee will receive a certificate. The Awards Subcommittee is requesting an initial budget of $5,000 per year, making it possible to fund at least five students per year; however, it is hoped that some awardees will not require the full amount, making it possible to fund additional applicants.</p> <p><b>Administration: </b><br> The Awards Subcommittee will select winners based upon the extended abstract and other relevant information contained in the c.v. and advisor's letter, and will confer with the technical program chairs for the conference. The amount awarded will be based upon the letter from the advisor and requested budget from the student. Once the winners are selected, the subcommittee will authorize the Spaceflight Mechanics Committee treasurer to issue checks in the full amounts to be awarded. Each check will be issued to the awardee's academic institution, under the conditions that: 1) the student is allowed to use the funds solely for the purpose of attending the conference and presenting the paper, and 2) that the full amount of the monetary award is made available to the student; i.e., the academic institution does not charge any fee or overhead cost for administering the funds. Winners will be notified of the awards at the same time that their papers are accept! ed for the conference.</p> <p>A formal presentation of each award (including a certificate) will be made during one of the evening social activities at the conference.</p> <p>The Awards Subcommittee will ensure that this award is advertised widely (including a notice on the AAS Web site) and that the general chairs for each conference are provided with relevant information to include with the call for papers.</p> <p><b>Obligations of awardees:</b> Award winners will be required to make their own travel arrangements through their universities and to provide receipts for all expenses, including travel, travel insurance, local transportation, lodging, meals and conference registration. Any unused funds must be returned to the Committee treasurer. During the meeting, the winners will be required to participate in some administrative activities, such as assisting with registration or technical paper sales. </p> <p> Application Form for John V.
