The Society distributes grants to support the travel of students (both undergraduate and graduate) and low-income scholars to the annual 4S meeting. Funding typically comes from three sources: $11,000 annually comes from the National Science Foundation (most students are funded through this source) and $5,000 annually comes from the Asia/Africa/Latin America Fund. This year, giving the transition to an on-line conference due to the COVID 19 pandemic, travel grants were transformed into registration grants.
