SSAR Student Travel Awards - Call for Applications
Ten awards of US $400 each are available to students to help defray the cost of traveling to the 2012 World Congress of Herpetology. An applicant for a travel award must be a student and a current member of SSAR, must not have previously received a travel award from SSAR, and must be the first author of a paper or poster to be presented at the 2012 WCH. The application package must include: 1) a letter signed by his/her major advisor or department chair that states that he/she is not completely funded for travel from another source and, if the research is co-authored, that the work was primarily the product of the applicant; 2) a copy of the abstract that was submitted for either poster or oral presentation. The qualified applicants will be pooled and the winners will be drawn at random. Winning applicants must volunteer 5 hours during the 2012 WCH to work at the bidding table. Students from the immediate vicinity of the WCH, as well as current members of the SSAR Travel Awards Committee, are excluded from applying for a travel award. Award checks will be disbursed at the SSAR Business Meeting to be held during the WCH.
