Peter Carpenter Memorial Graduate Student Travel Fund 2010

The Peter Carpenter Memorial Graduate Student Travel Fund was established to support graduate students working in the discipline for which Peter Carpenter was noted. Peter extracted much pleasure from his research and attendance at international conferences and the fund seeks to assist graduate students in gaining a similar experience.
The School of Engineering therefore invites bids to the fund from eligible candidates from all academic departments (please see guidelines for further details)
