Aquaculture Species Group: Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellowship Bursaries for PAG-XIV
The Aquaculture Species Group is pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of Travel Bursaries, of up to $1,000, to support the attendance of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at PAG-XIV. Every graduate student and postdoctoral fellow who registers for the PAG-XIV meeting and submits an Abstract to the Aquaculture Workshop is eligible for consideration. Applications should be submitted by E-mail to either John Liu (zliu@acesag.auburn.edu) or Greg Warr (warrgw@musc.edu) and include the following items. A) the Title and Authors of the submitted Abstract, B) a statement of the anticipated costs for the applicant to attend the PAG-XIV meeting, and a statement of additional resources (if any) that will be available to support their attendance. Applicants MUST also arrange for their supervisor to send an E-mail to John Liu or Greg Warr confirming their status as a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow.
