Student members are integral to the success of IAGLR and the future of large lakes research. To recognize their achievements and encourage involvement, we present several scholarships to outstanding student researchers each year. In addition, we award travel funds to many students to help defray costs of conference attendance. We also hold events for students at the annual conference.
Students and early career professionals can learn valuable skills and information about jobs in the coastal zone in this full-day workshop. Participants must register.

Practice a variety of skills to become more effective at communicating the “so what” of your research to lay - but key - audiences. Get tips on interacting with the media, hone your speaking skills, get feedback from a mock interview, learn from the trials and tribulations of your peers!!
Each year, IAGLR honors the best student presentations given at the Conference on Great Lakes Research. The awards consist of a cash prize and a complimentary one-year membership to IAGLR, which includes a subscription to the Journal of Great Lakes Research. Students may indicate their interest in entering the competition during abstract submission. An additional application is also required.
The process has changed for 2019 so be sure to read up on what’s new! Learn more:
The IAGLR-OMNR Student Travel Award is designed to promote student member attendance at the Conference on Great Lakes Research by subsidizing a portion of the costs of travel to and from the meeting. Student participation at the conference is integral to the atmosphere of the meeting as well as to students' education. The award is open to current IAGLR student members, in need of financial assistance to attend and present a paper or poster at the conference. Travel award funds are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The amount awarded to individual students will vary, and is contingent on distance traveled and funds available. Student members can apply when registering for the conference. To learn more, see details about the award.
IAGLR will confer travel support for a master's or PhD student, or a post-doctoral fellow from countries outside of the United States or Canada to attend the upcoming Conference on Great Lakes Research. Application deadline is March 1. View details about the award, including how to apply.
