Graduate students who have a paper accepted for the NASSH convention at Lake Placid 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, simply send an E-mail to:

smithmm@csus.edu

Please include an itemized estimate of expenses to attend the convention. Also ask your supervisor to forward an e-mail to Maureen Smith confirming that you are a registered graduate student.

The deadline for submissions is 31 March 2008, after which time you will be told how much money will be available to each applicant. This financial support will be paid to you by NASSH Secretary-Treasurer Ron Smith at the convention in Lake Placid.
