Niemiller Travel Scholarship
The Niemiller travel scholarship is available for any student (undergraduate or graduate student) wishing to attend the annual THS meeting. Scholarship will cover the registration, membership, and banquet fees along with funds to cover hotel and travel (up to $400). Scholarship will be awarded to the winner at the annual meeting in the form of a reimbursement check. Preference will be given to students giving an oral presentation, but poster presentations will be considered. Scholarship will be awarded to the student based on 1) abstract topic (Tennessee focus or at least applicable to Tennessee) 2) abstract content (how well the abstract is written) with preference given to oral presentations over poster.
To apply, please submit your abstract for the current year's meeting using the following form: https://forms.gle/n6WDoJRsiYz1ZPBFA
Winner's must submit an itemized list of travel costs to the THS president prior to attending the meeting.
Deadline: The deadline for the Niemiller Travel Scholarship is August 31 each year
