Typically we can supplement travel and lodging costs in the $400-$500 range per participant, depending on the needs of the participant and number of requests for financial assistance. All requests for financial assistance should be sent by email to the local conference organizer Professor Elton Hsu (ehsu at math dot northwestern dot edu) on or before September 20 and should be so indicated on the online registration form in ?order to be eligible for consideration. Other factors being equal, the funds will be distributed according to chronological priority. If you are a current graduate student, you need to confirm you status by asking your academic adviser to send a brief letter of reference by email to the local organizer. ********************************************************************************************************** For the most updated information, please visit the conference website: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? www.math.northwestern.edu/mwp *************************************************************************************** Sent by: Krzysztof Burdzy Department of Mathematics, Box 354350 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA burdzy at math.washington.edu http://www.math.washington.edu/~burdzy
