To be eligible, you must:
- Be an author who will present an accepted paper at an SPIE conference and submit your manuscript to be published in the Proceedings of SPIE
- Not have received SPIE travel funding in the past 12 months
- Have written support from the Conference Chair that your presentation will contribute significant value to the conference. SPIE will request a letter from the Conference Chair on your behalf
- Submit one letter of recommendation from your department head or advisor
