One Year until the 2025 Physics & Astronomy Congress!
Get excited! The 2025 Physics & Astronomy Congress, “Supporting our Phase Shifts,” isonly one year away! Be sure to start fundraising, working on your research posters and art pieces, and getting your chapter excited to attend. Be sure to follow us on social media, @SPSNational, and join theDiscordto stay up to date on all things Physics & AstronomyCongress!
Registration for the Congress will open in 2025.
NEW Scholarship Opportunity!
The Marian H. Rose Research Scholarship offers $15,000 annually to support one female-identifying graduate student conducting research in physics or related fields, with a preference for climate and environmental science. Named in honor of Dr. Marian H. Rose, a pioneering plasma physicist and environmental advocate, this scholarship seeks to empower women in science and advance research that addresses critical environmental challenges. Eligible applicants must be early-career female or female-identifying graduate students in good academic standing, with membership in Sigma Pi Sigma or an SPS alumni status.
Applications are due November 15.
