Student Scholarships

To facilitate participation of young scientists and scholars interested in aging and speech communication, a limited number of student scholarships will be available to cover travel and conference expenses. The student requesting the scholarship must be the presenter for the poster, a mentor attending the conference must be identified at the time of submission, and the poster must be accepted for presentation. This information is simply provided by the student while completing the poster abstract-submission form.  For the purpose of scholarship applications, students are individuals who are currently enrolled as full-time students in Ph.D. programs or as post-doctoral trainees at a college or university. Applications from international students, as well as U.S. students, are strongly encouraged. Applications are due July 15, 2007 and will be reviewed by the Advisory Committee.  Recipients will be notified by August 1, 2007 .

Those students who submit abstracts for posters, but do not end up receiving a student scholarship, will receive a reduced conference registration rate of $US 75.  To be eligible for this reduced registration fee, students must submit an abstract for poster presentation by the July 15th deadline and register no later than September 7th.
