Graduate Travel Scholarship
Applications for the Graduate Student Travel Scholarship are now available. This scholarship has been generously contributed to by ASHE members with the intent of financially supporting graduate student members presenting at the annual conference. The fund will provide travel monies to graduate students who have been accepted to present research or scholarly papers, symposia, roundtables, or posters at the ASHE annual meeting. Five (5) scholarships will be awarded this year in the amount of $400 each. The application process requires the students to a) complete an online application and b) have a faculty member from their program or department send a letter of recommendation on their behalf directly to ashe@unlv.edu.
Scholarship recipients will be expected to attend the graduate student luncheon, write a short piece for the fall ASHE newsletter, and become a member of a subcommittee to propose and implement programming for graduate students (see the application for complete details). Applications are due September 3, 2010. Students will be notified no later than October 4, 2010. Please contact Emma Flores (emxf@u.washington.edu) for more information.
Thank you to all ASHE members who have donated to this fund and to all of you who will donate to the fund when you register for the conference. As the fund grows, so too will the number of scholarships we can provide.
