Student Paper Award

The Structural Acoustics and Vibration technical committee is one of several that offers a best student paper award to students who present papers at Society meetings. If you want your paper to be considered for an award, you must indicate this when you submit your abstract. Follow the instructions for the appropriate technical area that appears below.

AWARD AMOUNT
For each of the Technical Committees granting awards, up to two awards will be presented to students presenting papers in sessions organized by the specific Technical Committee: $300 for first prize and $200 for second prize

QUALIFICATIONS
To qualify for each of these awards, the author must:

• Be enrolled as a student at least half time (graduates are eligible if the work being presented was performed as a student within one year of the meeting). Note that you do not need to be a member of the ASA to qualify.
• Be listed as the first author on the submitted abstract.
• Present the paper at the meeting.
• Submit a copy of the presentation materials or a written text to the copy center at the meeting, unless the paper is presented in a poster session (except for entries in Speech Communication and Underwater Acoustics).

SELECTION
The award winners will be selected by a subcommittee of the Structural Acoustics & Vibration Technical Committee, based upon the quality of both the content of the paper and its presentation. The awards will be announced either at the meeting of the technical committee or after the close of the meeting. Students are encouraged to attend this meeting, and to participate with the technical committee.

APPLICATION
All those who wish to participate in the competition for these awards must indicate their intention by putting the following statement at the bottom of the abstract submitted for the meeting:
