For these programs, this grant provides a travel stipend (average stipend $1,000), registration waivers, and one night shared hotel rooms for up to four students and one faculty member to participate in the Extreme Risk Takers Symposiums in Atlanta on November 11 - 12. 

(For the latest information on the symposium schedules click here to go to the symposium web page. Note that additional symposiums will be held in the spring - March 4 in Los Angeles and March 25-26 in Chicago, and in April in Santa Barbara for actuarial/data science students. Only one award per college program is granted annually.)
