In addition, priority will be given to: (i) more advanced <\/span><span role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\">students, particularly those who are nearing the completion of their degree and will soon be applying for <\/span><span role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\">jobs; (ii) students who will be presenting a paper, presenting a poster, or serving <\/span><span role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\">on a panel at the conference they plan to attend; and (iii) students who have already obtained partial <\/span><span role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\">support from other sources, or who have at least made an effort to obtain such support, for example by <\/span><span role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\">applying to the organization running the conference as in the case of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ams.org\/student-travel\">AMS Student Travel Grants<\/a><\/span><span role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\">.
