NABC is offering one student support ($750) for member institutions this yr.  The conference theme is specialty crops.  Can you distribute and identify a student that would be interested in this opportunity?

There will be another Student Voice program for graduate students at NABC member institutions. One student from each institution is offered a travel stipend of up to $750 to cover travel and lodging and free meeting registration.

Please advertise this widely at your institutions. Please download the flier to post on bulletin boards. The website with information and application materials is here. 

The application deadline is April 15, 2013, and the winners should be informed by May 1, so they can make lodging and travel arrangements. The NABC office does not select the winner - you do. In the past, some institutions have offered an additional travel stipend so a second student from the institution could participate. NABC will cover the registration costs for those additional students.

Previous participants have praised the program as a good experience with good networking possibilities.
