Fall Travel Stipend Recipients Announced

Through Forest’s Student Travel Award Program that started in 2006, students are able to apply for financial assistance from Forest Institute to help offset costs related to travel in presenting their research at regional and national conferences.

More than $51,000 has been awarded to 184 students in support of their research projects since the program began.

Forest recently announced the recipients of funding for the Fall 2011 cycle.

"These awards have been an important element for me in presenting research, keeping abreast of new developments in the field, and networking with other students and professionals through attending conferences," said recipient Summer Rolin. "Travel stipends have really been crucial in helping me defer the costs of attending professional conferences."

Recipient Jamie Bell also is thankful for the stipends, "It has been a huge help. I would not be able to attend if it weren't for the travel awards!"
