Student Assistant Stipends

ASMS sponsors student assistant work stipends to provide support Masters, Ph.D. or Undergraduate students at the annual conference. Approximately two hundred $300 Student Assistant Work Stipends are offered in exchange for a 6-hour work shift at the conference (assisting with registration, oral and poster sessions, and employment center). The stipend application asks you to indicate preferred day for your 6-hour work shift. Note that when we assign work shifts we take into account the assigned presentation day for your oral or poster.

We currently have all the applicants needed for student assistants in San Diego, however, we do sometimes have cancellations and need to utilize people on our waitlist. If you are interested in being on the waitlist, please complete the online waitlist application.

Before you submit an application, be sure to submit your abstract (you must be listed as a presenter) for the annual conference) and review the eligibility guidelines below.

No more than two students from a research group may apply. If more than two students from one group apply, only the first two applicants will be considered. If you have a large group, please coordinate with your colleague so that only two students submit application forms. If there are more applicants than stipends only the first applicant per group will receive support.
