GHETS is pleased to announce the availability of fellowships to support the attendance of students at The Network: TUFH’s annual conference in Bogotá, Colombia in September/October 2008.

To be eligible for a Student Fellowship, you will be required to have at least one abstract related to the above categories accepted for presentation at The Network: TUFH conference. Recipients of the $500 student awards will be required to raise the rest of the funding needed to attend the conference from other sources.

Once the abstract selection process is complete, (in or around July, 2008) application forms will be sent to all eligible students via email. Criteria under consideration will include: quality of the abstract; access to sufficient additional funding to attend the conference; and quality of the application.
