The EA Events Team offers financial support for students to attend conferences because they want to make sure that money doesn’t prohibit anyone from attending a conference. Conferences can be really valuable because they allow students to make personal and professional connections, learn about early career opportunities within the EA community, and get feedback on their career plans. Students also frequently cite conferences as one of their most transformative experiences!
Speaking on behalf of the CEA Events team, I think this is basically right :)
Two minor points of clarification:
It’s CEA as an organisation not “EA” or the “EA Events Team”
Financial support is available to everyone who needs it, not just students.
