The Florida Chapter AFS will again be providing the opportunity for students to obtain free room and board (up to $84.00) for this year's annual FAFS meeting scheduled for 23-25 February 2004 in Brooksville, Florida.  In past years, 8 to 18 travel grants have been awarded each year.  To be eligible to receive one of these travel grants, individuals must be registered in a Florida school during the spring semester and apply for the grant.

Applicants must 1) indicate if they have ever attended an AFS meeting, 2) describe any past involvement that they have had with AFS, 3) describe any other professional and educational activities that they had been involved with, and 4) explain why they want to attend the annual FAFS meeting.

Awardees will be selected and notified prior to the meeting. Students are not required to be presenting a talk or poster to be eligible. One of the intents of this award is to increase student involvement in the Chapter, especially students in the initial stages of their careers. Applicants must be a member of the Florida Chapter or become a member when they register at the annual meeting. The travel grant does not cover the cost of membership or registration.

The student travel application is available as a  PDF file (Acrobat version better for printing (see here for a free Acrobat reader)) format.

Deadline for applying is 23 January, 2004!!
