ASIH Graduate Student Travel Awards

Student travel awards will once again be awarded to help defray travel expenses to participate in the joint meeting of ichthyologists and herpetologists. Awards are intended to assist students who are presenting a paper or poster at the meeting. Applicants must be ASIH members and the first author of the paper or poster being presented. Applications should include the abstract of the talk or poster, information on the expected cost of attending the meeting, and alternative sources of funding. Applications should be submitted via email, although regular post will be accepted if access to e-mail is not available. If regular post is used, please include a self-addressed return envelope. Any student making a presentation is encouraged to apply. Awards are limited to students who have not won in the past. Selection is by random draw from among qualified applicants, with ten awards for herpetologists and ten for ichthyologists. Applications should be postmarked by April 1, 2004. Direct queries and completed applications to: djhoeinghaus@tamu.edu or David Hoeinghaus, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, 2258 TAMU, College Station, Texas, 77843-2258.
