Student Travel Grant

Submit an Application 

The Student Travel Grant is designed to support full-time students who are pursuing research and education in the field of nondestructive testing (NDT). This grant provides financial assistance for qualified travel expenses, enabling students to attend the ASNT Research Symposium. By facilitating student participation in this key industry event, the Student Travel Grant aims to foster professional development, networking, and the sharing of innovative research.

Form of Award

Reimbursement not to exceed $1,000 is provided to cover travel-associated expenses* to the Research Symposium.

*Reimbursements will be used for airfare, ground transportation, lodging, and meals through timely submission of receipts. Recipients who are not members of ASNT will also receive a complimentary one-year student membership.

Eligibility

Full-time students, undergraduate or graduate, enrolled at a four-year university or college in the US are eligible.

Selection

Up to 20 recipients will be selected and up to two alternates each year. Selection will be based in part on the number of applications received. Students presenting at the Research Symposium will be given priority during the selection process. Student activities involved in NDE research will be weighted heavier.

Application

Students applying for the Student Travel Grant reimbursement should submit the following:

  • Short essay on the student’s career plans, the role they expect NDT/NDE to play in their plans, and the benefits they anticipate from attendance at the Research Symposium.

  • One letter of recommendation from a faculty member which includes verification of the student’s full-time status.

  • A cover page with the university address and phone number, as well as the email address of the faculty member who wrote the letter of recommendation.
