Senior Student Presenter Grant

The SABA Senior Student Presenter Grant supports qualified student presenters whose submissions have been accepted for presentation at an Association for Behavior Analysis International event. SABA distributes donations from the Student Presenter Fund to eligible student applicants, subject to the availability of funds. The benefit provided through the program is complimentary event registration. The source specifically states that other expenses are not covered, so the grant should not be interpreted as providing travel, lodging, meals, transportation, or another cash award. The program is intended to make participation in ABAI events more accessible to qualifying students who are serving as presenters. Eligibility is limited to students who satisfy both membership and authorship requirements. An applicant must be a Student member of ABAI by the call for submissions deadline for the event for which the grant is sought. The student's submission must also have been accepted for presentation at an ABAI event. In addition, the student must be both the first, or senior, author and the presenting author of the submission. Eligible submission formats identified by the source include posters, papers, panels, symposia, and skill building sessions. The source does not establish a geographic restriction on applicants, and the listed 2026 recipients include students affiliated with institutions in Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and the United States. For the Annual Convention, students do not submit a separate grant application. Instead, an eligible student applies as part of the event submission process by checking the "SABA Senior Student Presenter Grant Eligibility" box when making the submission. No separate proposal, letter of intent, budget, narrative, financial documentation, or supporting upload is identified in the provided information. Because the application is integrated with the presentation submission, applicants must ensure that their ABAI Student membership is in place by the applicable call for submissions deadline and that they satisfy the first-author and presenting-author requirements. SABA Senior Student Presenter Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and remain subject to the availability of Student Presenter Fund donations and applicant eligibility. Applicants are notified of the outcome before the early registration deadline for the event for which they submitted. The source specifically advises applicants not to register for the convention until they have learned the status of their award. No monetary award floor, monetary award ceiling, total program funding amount, matching requirement, cost share, performance period, or cash payment is stated. The defined benefit is complimentary registration only, with other expenses expressly excluded. The information identifies the Annual Convention as an ongoing event context for the grant and reports that 51 student presenters received SABA Senior Student Presenter Grants to attend the 52nd Annual Convention in 2026. Those recipients represented institutions in multiple countries, including Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and the United States. The source does not provide an explicit application opening date, call for submissions deadline, application closing date, early registration deadline, or date for the next grant cycle. Because the grant application is tied to the Annual Convention and the source identifies the convention as annual, the opportunity is treated as recurring, while exact dates for the next application cycle require verification when the next convention submission schedule is published. Program contact information supplied in the source consists of the SABA/ABAI contact channels. The listed email address is saba@abainternational.org and the telephone number is (269) 492-9310. A fax number of (269) 492-9316 and a mailing address of 550 West Centre Avenue, Portage, Michigan 49024-5364 are also provided. No individual grant officer or program contact is named. No direct PDF guidelines URL or application PDF is provided in the source material.

Apply through the presentation submission process as early as practicable because grants are awarded first-come, first-served; ensure ABAI Student membership is active by the call for submissions deadline; ensure you are both first or senior author and presenting author; do not register for the convention until grant status is known
