Roberta Park Award Guidelines
Graduate students who have a paper accepted for the 2012 NASSH convention are eligible to apply for a grant from the Roberta Park Fund. Annual interest on this fund is divided among the applicants to help defray the costs of travel and accommodation at the convention. Exact amounts of these grants vary from year to year.

To apply for a grant from the Park Fund, you should:
• Indicate your interest on your submitted abstract,
• Include the name and email address of your graduate program advisor.

This financial support will be disbursed to you by NASSH Secretary-Treasurer, Ron Smith, at the convention, not before.
