So far in my college career I have been exposed to few research topics taking place in the field, and have not yet taken part in a research project of my own or a professor s ongoing project. For this reason, I am proposing to the committee to fund a trip for me to attend an international microbiology conference in Australia this summer. Microbiology is a relatively new and innovative science. Microbiological research plays an integral part in its role as a science. It has led to advancements in knowledge of the discipline, such as discovering the structure of DNA, as well advancements in society, in the form of vaccines and antibiotics. The following proposal details the funding of a trip for me to attend the prestigious Australian Society for Microbiology Annual Scientific Meeting of 2012. I would need approximately $3490 for the trip, which is detailed in the proposal. It will be held from July 1 to July 4, 2012 in Brisbane, Australia. During the four day conference, over a dozen professionals in the field will deliver an as sortment of lectures about current and future microbiological research topics. Also, a wide variety of microbiology topics will be presented at multiple symposia. There will also be several poster sessions and t rade exhibitions. This experience would greatly benefit my academic career by allowing exposure to new technology and current research. It may foster in me an idea of a research topic that I could pursue as a graduate student. It could also lead to an internship or prospects for future employment.

I appreciate the consideration of my proposal and look forward to hearing from the committee.

Dear Student Grant Program Committee Members,
My name is Mark Johnson, and I am an undergraduate senior in the microbiologydepartment at University of Idaho. So far in my college career I have been exposed to few
research topics taking place in the field, and have not yet taken part in a research project of myown or a professor’s ongoing project. For this reason, I am proposing to the committee to fund atrip for me to attend an international microbiology conference in Australia this summer.
Microbiology is a relatively new and innovative science. Microbiological research playsan integral part in its role as a science.

During the four day conference, over a dozenprofessionals in the field will deliver an assortment of lectures about current and futuremicrobiological research topics. Also, a wide variety of microbiology topics will be presented atmultiple symposia. There will also be several poster sessions and trade exhibitions.
This experience would greatly benefit my academic career by allowing exposure to newtechnology and current research. It may foster in me an idea of a research topic that I couldpursue as a graduate student. It could also lead to an internship or prospects for futureemployment.
