NYSE Euronext sponsors travel grants for approximately 10-15 students per year so that they can attend the Western Finance Association Meetings to present their accepted paper. The program chairman selects the recipients of the travel grants. Typically, the grants are received by students with single-authored papers on the conference program or shared by students who co-authored papers on the program with other students. If you are selected, you will be notified by the Program Chairman at the email address given at submission of your paper. (If you are not notified, and you are a student, then you were not selected for the grant).
