STUDENT CONFERENCE STIPENDS
Through the generosity of the IAEM Councils and USA Regions, stipends of up to $100 are being offered to select student attendees of the IAEM-USA Annual Conference in Orlando. The stipend may be used towards registration, transportation, housing or other conference related expenses.
Students should e-mail their interest to be considered for the stipend lottery, along with their complete contact information as well as the university they are attending, to IAEM Membership Director Sharon Kelly at info@iaem.com no later than Sept. 11, 2009. Notifications will be sent via email by the end of September.
Those students who are chosen will be required to provide proof of current enrollment in an emergency management or related higher education program and attend a brief meeting during the conference in order to receive their funds.
