Students who enter the
Presentation Award Competition
may be considered for a travel award. Indicate on the Pre-Registration Form
if you are applying for a travel award. Travel awards will be $100 for students
from outside the Lubbock meeting area. We want to support as many students as
possible, but the funds are limited. In addition to the above requirements for
entering the student presentation award competition, there are two additional
requirements to be eligible for a travel award:
By the pre-registration deadline of October 3, 2003, the supervisor or
department chair of the student must submit an e-mail letter in support
of a travel award. The letter should say if other travel funds are provided
to supplement our award. This will not detract from receiving an award and
actually may improve the chance to receive one. A single letter in support
of more than one student from the same institution is permitted, provided
that each student is described. The letter should have
"Support for Travel Award" as the subject and should be sent to
Dr. Walter Borst at
Walter.Borst@TTU.EDU.
This letter also should contain the complete mailing address and e-mail
address of the student.
Students must indicate on the
Student Registration Form that they are
either a current member of the TSAPS or that they will become a member
before the meeting. TSAPS Membership is required before the travel award
check is issued.
Recipients of a travel award will be notified by e-mail approximately one week
before the meeting, and the award checks will be available at the registration
desk upon presenting evidence of membership in the Texas Section of the APS.
