In reviewing requests, the Society will prioritize funding applicants who: identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color; have not previously attended the Annual Meeting; and do not have institutional support. Applicants must provide a brief personal statement about their interest in attending the Annual Meeting, and applicant selection will be guided by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion vision.

Scholarships fund complimentary conference registration, up to three nights in the conference hotel, travel up to $600, a per diem of $100 per day, a reimbursement of up to $100 per day for childcare, and a year-long Society membership for new members. Members and non-members are welcome to apply. Deadlines will be released when registration opens.
