The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Student Conference is a technical paper competition for AIAA student members at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students from regional schools are invited to submit papers and given formal presentations that are judged for technical content and communication skills. Beyond the cash prizes of $500, $300, and $250 awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the undergraduate, graduate, and team categories, first place winners in each category are also invited to attend the AIAA Foundation International Student Paper Conference held in conjunction with the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting (ASM) in Orlando, Florida in January 2010.
