NABS ENDOWMENT STUDENT TRAVEL AWARDS
Three of the named NABS endowment funds provide support for travel to the annual
meeting. The Americas Fund provides one travel award to a scientist or student from Latin
America. The Petersen Fund provides two travel awards for non-North American students. The
Simpson Fund has been managed to provide one travel award to a student whose interests are
in applied issues. These NABS Endowment Awards are based solely on the quality of the
research as demonstrated in the abstract submitted for presentation at the annual meeting.
Although these awards are designated as travel awards, they are considered by the
Endowment Committee to represent explicit acknowledgment of the quality of the research
the student has completed! The awards will be for $500 each. To be considered for an
award, a copy of the abstract must be sent to Leonard C. Ferrington, Department of
Entomology, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN 55108-6125, postmarked by the deadline
date for submission of abstracts for the annual meeting. A cover letter should also
indicate the name of the fund for which the abstract has been submitted. All abstracts
submitted for consideration for a travel award will be reviewed by a three-person
committee appointed by the Chair of the Endowment Committee.
