Sewell Stipend 2009
Do you work with public health professionals? Are you interested in public health? Are you interested in attending the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting? This year's APHA meeting will take place in Philadelphia, PA from November 7-11, 2009. Its theme will be Water and Public Health.
The Grace and Harold Sewell Memorial Fund, Inc. is offering stipends to librarians and other information professionals to help cover the costs of their attending and/or participating in this meeting. Successful applicants from the greater Philadelphia area will receive a stipend of at least $650. Successful applicants from outside greater Philadelphia will receive at least $1,000. This amount covers most of the APHA Membership at $195 and Early Bird (pre-August 28, 2009) Member Registration at $395. Though significant, these amounts will NOT cover all costs, so stipend recipients will need to find additional monies to cover remaining costs.
Completed applications are due July 24, 2009. To apply, read and complete the application. Add all required application materials to the completed form and send as a SINGLE email attachment to Joey Nicholson at jnicholson@nyam.org.
For more information, contact Joey Nicholson at jnicholson@nyam.org.
