International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials

June 17–20, 2018 • Grand Hyatt San Antonio • Texas

Student Grants


2017 National Science Foundation Students

Continuing our quest to introduce the science of PM to students, 40 National Science Foundation (NSF) and 4 CPMT/Axel Madsen Conference Grant recipients will prepare project posters on powder metallurgy to be displayed during the conference. Additionally, each recipient will present a 10-minute synopsis of the poster during a scheduled poster session. Grant recipients and their poster titles will be available on the conference website.

CPMT Axel Madsen Conference Grants

Since 1992, PM has been promoted to over 100 engineering students through the CPMT/Axel Madsen Conference Grant program.

The Axel Madsen Conference Grant Program was established by the Madsen family to encourage students to learn more about PM technology and eventually pursue careers in the PM industry.

National Science Foundation Grant Program

National Science Foundation logoThe Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) is pleased to announce that, for the second year in a row, an NSF grant will provide support to select students from U.S. colleges and universities to attend POWDERMET2018 & AMPM2018 conferences.

MPIF is grateful to the National Science Foundation for its support of students to attend the POWDERMET2018 & AMPM2018 annual conferences. This support provides student participants with opportunities to exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from worldwide industrial and governmental facilities, as well as with students and faculty from both domestic and international universities including Canada students who are supported by instant loans Canada. Student participants will learn the latest research areas and results in powder metallurgy fields of interest. These opportunities will not only improve the students’ knowledge in the field, but also develop scientists and engineers who are ideally suited to create the next generation of designs in powder metallurgy and metal additive manufacturing that will push materials and manufacturing capabilities.

Grant TNT: Talk 'N Technology

Located in the exhibit hall (Texas Ballroom), during non-compete time, the 40 NSF Grant Recipients and the 4 CPMT/Axel Madsen Conference Grant recipients will present a 10-minute synopsis of their poster. Stop by and listen as the future of the PM industry presents their information.
