o    A 300-word statement on why Annual Meeting attendance will benefit the
student in his/her pursuit of a future career.
Deadline
The deadline for application is July 15, 2013.
Selection
The content of the 300-word statement expressing the student’s need to
attend the Annual Meeting will be appraised in terms of originality, clarity
of expression, and how successfully the student addresses the relevance of
attending the Annual Meeting as a means to a career. This appraisal will be
coupled with an assessment of where the greatest financial need falls among
applicants as evidenced by the CV.
Submitted 300-word statements will be scored on a 100-point scale, with a
maximum of 75 points awarded based on content and originality, and 25 points
based on clarity of expression. The winner of the travel award will be
determined by the highest average scores on the statement and the strongest
indication of financial need. In the event of a tie, those submissions will
be re-evaluated and re-averaged.
The Jury Chair will write a brief statement documenting the final decision
and notify the winner prior to the annual meeting."

Thanks & Regards.
