The Environmental section of APHA has been awarded a grant from the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) which allow the organization to offer travel scholarships for students to attend the annual meeting.
The section is offering travel scholarships of $500-$1000 to students to defray costs to attend the annual meeting. Students who are enrolled in under-graduate or graduate-level degree programs and are interested in environmental health are eligible to apply.
We hope to strengthen the participation of students and increase their involvement in APHA and, specifically, the Environment Section. The goal is to provide students with opportunities to connect with researchers, practitioners, and leaders and give educational offerings on a wide range of environmental health topics, especially environmental justice. The section has a strong mentorship program which will benefit the students and help them connect with local community-based environmental health initiatives.
I highly encourage you to share this information through your various networks and note the fast turn around. Eligible student applicants must submit their application, see attached form, electronically by October 10, 2018, 5pm est to: Jyotsna Jagai (jjagai2@uic.edu).
