Student Mentoring Group

The Student Mentoring Group aims to foster a supportive environment for our NSA student members in their studies and future careers in nutrition science. 

Student Awards

NSA offers a number of different awards for student members. These are for:

* best presentations by student NSA members a the Annual Scientific Meeting

* high quality publications in research journals:  the Emerging Researcher Award and the Early Career Travel Grant

Student Travel Grants for ASM

These cash grants are provided for students who are presenting their research in oral or poster form at the national Annual Scientific Meeting. They are based on the airfare from your city to the city where the conference is taking place (though it should be noted that NSA provides only part of the standard airfare).
Applications are due each year in early August. 
Successful applicants receive their cheques in November.

Applications for travel grants to the 2012 ASM will open in July
