This workshop has been
developed from Akamai’s
experience with 300+
interns over 15 years
Fee Waivers and Travel Support: Funding from the
Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory
and
the
National
Science
Foundation
(AST#1347767) enables us to waive the $250
registration fee and provide travel support for many
participants (hotel accommodations at the Waikoloa
Marriott, some meals, and airfare).
Application includes a request for fee waiver and
travel support. We anticipate being able to
accommodate all applicant requests. Notifications
regarding application status will
be sent out April 16.
All Akamai mentors are invited to participate.
Mentors will work with ISEE-Akamai staff and
other mentors to plan a productive project for
their intern. Mentors may also bring a colleague
who is a prospective future Akamai mentor.
