Top Story 2003 APS Foundation Student Travel Award Application Process Goes OnlineWith support of the APS Foundation, the
APS Graduate Student Committee recently initiated an online application process
for the 2003 APS Foundation Student Travel Awards Program. Focused on making the
process efficient and effective, applicants will now be able to submit their entire
application via an online submission form. Instructions and the web address for
the new process will be published in the February issue of Phytopathology News.
Online applications will be accepted for the 2003 Student Travel Awards starting
on February 21, 2003. "We are looking forward to the simplification
of providing an online application process," says Chair of the APS Graduate
Student Committee Zahi Kanaan-Atallah, Washington State University. "The
streamlined approach will save time for everyone involved in the process." Awards
of $400 each will be provided to Student Travel Award recipients. APS student
members giving oral or poster presentations at the 2003 APS Annual Meeting in
Charlotte, NC (August 9-13) are eligible. Please note, students who received an
award in 2002 will not be eligible for an award until 2004. "Since
some aspects of the application process are lengthy, we encourage applicants to
review the requirements and prepare their responses in their own word processing
application prior to completing the online form," says Kanaan-Atallhah. "Then
it's just a matter of cutting and pasting the content into the form for submission." Requirements for the application are as follows:
The
online application process for the Student Travel Awards opens on February 21,
2003. Applications will be accepted until midnight Pacific Standard Time, on March
21, 2003. Watch next month's issue of Phytopathology News for additional instructions
