Financial Support Available to Attend the ASTC Annual Conference, October 18-21
Do you know a colleague who should attend the ASTC conference but can?t afford to? Tell them how easy it is to apply for the Lee Kimche McGrath Worldwide Fellowship that supports participation in the Philadelphia conference by individuals from science centers and museums outside the United States. The purpose of the Fellowship is to foster greater understanding among international colleagues and encourage global participation in ASTC. The award provides complimentary registration and up to U.S.$1,500 toward travel expenses for a professional who has genuine need for financial assistance in order to attend the conference. Applicants do not need to be from ASTC-member institutions. Previous recipients have hailed from Mauritius, Indonesia, Panama, and Philippines. Applications are due by June 30. Selection criteria and an application form are available at www.astc.org/about/awards/awards.htm
If people have questions, they can contact me or Walter Staveloz.
Thanks so much!
