<pre>NASW Mentoring Program Travel Stipends
Thanks to a generous grant from the William T. Golden Endowment Fund
at AAAS, the NASW Mentoring Program can now offer as many as 10
undergraduate students interested in science journalism up to $1000 in
travel expenses to attend the AAAS 2007 meeting in San Francisco from
February 15-19, 2007. (Most writers try to come to the meeting Friday
through Monday.) NASW's education committee will select the students
independently from AAAS and will pair each one with a science writer
mentor.
The world's largest general science society, AAAS holds an annual
meeting in the United States that draws leading scientists from all
disciplines and from all over the world. The conference invariably
makes news as hundreds of American and international science writers
from magazines, newspapers, radio, TV and web also cover the event. At
AAAS, NASW has traditionally held an internship fair for young science
journalists, as well as paired many student journalists up with
veteran science writers through its mentoring programs
Although AAAS or NASW will be happy to assist them, those selected
will be expected to make their own travel arrangements to attend the
San Francisco meeting and provide receipts for reimbursement. AAAS
will reserve 5 conference hotel rooms with 2 beds each if the winners
would like to defray costs by rooming with someone.
Only currently enrolled undergraduate students are eligible for these
travel stipends.
Please copy the application below into an email and send it with the
required writing sample (as an attachment) by midnight (EST) December
11, 2006, to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mentor@nasw.org">mentor@nasw.org</a>.
