Materials Research Society
Support travel awards for MSE graduate students to attend and present research at conferences.

About this project:

Imagine the future of materials science driven by groundbreaking research! We're raising funds to support travel awards for Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) graduate students, helping them present their innovations, connect with experts and shape the future of science. With your support, these students can share their cutting-edge discoveries at conferences, fueling collaborations and career growth. Every donation brings us closer to a future of new materials, new ideas and new possibilities. Let’s make an impact—one research trip at a time!

How your support makes a difference!

Your donation will empower Materials Science and Engineering graduate students by funding travel to top conferences, where they can present research, gain valuable feedback and build professional networks. By supporting these opportunities, you help advance materials science innovation, foster collaboration and shape the next generation of scientific leaders. Every contribution directly fuels discoveries that could impact industries, technology and our daily lives!


Gifts may also be used as general support for the Materials Research Society.
