The NZSSS will approve applications based on merit. If applications exceed the total allowed funds the Soil Science Society may provide a contribution at a lower level than that applied for, or may fund only a limited number of applications based on judgement of the quality of each applicant. The funding decisions of the NZSSS society will be final and no further correspondence will be entered into.

There is also an opportunity for students to be student helpers in exchange for a discount on registration fees. Student helpers are required to be available each day of the Conference and will be tasked with either registration desk assistance, help loading talks onto computers during breaks, AV support in the conference rooms, and set up. You will be able to attend the sessions you want and can choose your preferred role. Being a student conference volunteer is a great opportunity to meet other students and prospective employers.
