Among the criteria for selection will be the following:

- Quality or unique nature of science to be presented

may be rejected.

The application letter should include the following: 1) Name, 
address, telephone, FAX, e-mail; 2) Institutional affiliation and 
educational status; 3) Advisor; 4) research interests; 5) anticipated 
activity at HAB 2008 (poster or oral presentation, first or secondary 
author); 6) copy of your abstract; 7) firm estimate of round trip 
airfare costs, housing, meals, and other travel needs, if justified; 
8) other sources of travel funds (i.e., how will you pay for the 
remainder of the trip, and how firm is that financial commitment); 
9) statement justifying the request for assistance (i.e. why do you 
need the money, what you will do if you don't get the award); 10) a 
short letter from your advisor explaining why these supplemental 
funds are needed; 11) other information that might help in the
