The AAS announces a travel award to supplement attendance at the AAS Annual Meeting or the International Arachnological Congress Meeting (during Congress years). Awards of up to $500 for the annual meeting and $1,000 for the Congress are made to:

  • Undergraduates and graduate students who are presenting authors on a paper or poster.
  • Retired arachnologists to help them attend meetings; funding for these individuals was provided by the Schlinger Foundation.


Applicants must be members of AAS and have a demonstrated financial need that cannot be met by other sources.
Students may receive only one award during the course of each degree.

Funding for retired arachnologists is from the generous gift the Society received from the Schlinger Foundation.

Important note: The AAS is unable to provide support for researchers, emertus arachnologists or students who are from U.S. embargoed countries such as Cuba.
However, the AAS is able to provide sponsored membership to researchers and students from developing nations that are embargoed. Information about sponsored memberships can be found by following this link.
