For Prize Winners

Accepting Your Award

Prizes are frequently associated with a SIAM meeting. We encourage prize recipients to attend the meeting at which their prize is awarded. In order to make this easier for prize recipients, SIAM will waive meeting registration fees and reimburse participants for costs incurred in traveling to the meeting. A SIAM staff member will reach out to you to ask whether or not you plan on attending the meeting.

Conference Registration

• For conferences within the U.S., SIAM will register for you and waive the conference registration fee. Please do not register.
• For conferences outside of the U.S., you will need to register for the conference. You will be able to submit for reimbursement.

Hotel Accommodation

• For conferences within the U.S., SIAM will reserve a hotel room for you at the meeting's headquarter hotel. A member from SIAM staff will reach out to you via email for your accommodation specifics. You will be asked to pay for your room at the time of the stay and submit for reimbursement.
• For conferences outside of the U.S., you will need to make your own hotel accommodations. You will be able to submit for reimbursement.

Travel Expenses

As part of your award, SIAM will reimburse your expenses incurred in attending the meeting to accept your award. This includes air and ground transportation to and from the meeting, your hotel accommodation, and meals. We ask that you pay for these items up front and then submit for reimbursement.

Reimbursement of travel expenses to attend the meeting will normally be limited to a maximum of $1,500 within the United States and $2,500 for international travel.
