GRADUATE STUDENT SUPPORT

There is still NSA funding available for graduate students and recent
Ph.D.'s (U.S. citizens only) without support from their home institutions
to attend the conference.  Further information about support and how to
apply is available below or from contacting Professor Jane Friedman by
email at "janef@acusd.edu" .


The National Security Agency has provided funding for graduate students
and recent Ph.D.'s without support from their home institutions to 
attend the conference.  Those receiving funding must participate
in the academic portion of the conference but are not required to give a talk.
To apply for funding an applicant should send a letter describing his/her
research interests in number theory (or related area) and relevant education,  
including an estimate of travel expenses to:

           Professor Jane Friedman 
           Mathematics and Computer Science Department
           University of San Diego
           5998 Alcala Park
           San Diego, CA  92110
 
In addition, each student should ask a faculty advisor to send a letter in
support of his/her application to the same address.  A postdoc should ask
a colleague familiar with his/her research to do the same.
 
For those who are accepted, we hope to offer reimbursement for
accommodation (up to $250), transportation  (up to $450) and registration. 
Be advised that the NSA will only reimburse airfares for tickets on US
carriers.  Also, the applicant must be a US citizen or in possession of
a valid "green card".

Those applying after November 17, may be awarded support if funds permit.
