🎯📝🎓 Conference Awards for Students

The IAFMHS Student Section typically offers 4 financial award opportunities for students attending the IAFMHS annual conference.  There will be two presentation awards to acknowledge the research and presentation work of first-author student presenters at the conference. There will also be two travel awards to increase attendance from students in underrepresented countries and/or institutions due to financial need.

Award Types

  1. Top student oral presentation ($1,000 CAD)
  2. Top student poster presentation ($500 CAD)
  3. First travel award ($1,000 CAD)
  4. Second travel award ($500 CAD)

Generally speaking, all applicants have to be student members without full-time employment, in good standing with IAFMHS. All student members will receive a call for award applications via e-mail in spring. Potential changes to our award schedule (e.g., eligibility, award amount) anapplication process will be communicated via e-mail as well.
