Folks,
Apologies to those who may be receiving this notice a second time or 
have not seen it at all, but all graduate students attending the 2011 
SHA conference to present their research should consider applying for 
the Ed and Judy Jelks Student Travel Award.  Two $500 awards will be 
presented to graduate students who are presenting a paper or poster or 
participating in a symposium at the 2011 conference in Austin, Texas.  
Applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate degree program and 
be a member of SHA.  To apply, please send a brief letter to the 
committee chair (electronic submission is encouraged to 
[log in to unmask], but snail mail still works) outlining how 
participation in the SHA Conference will advance your career and 
research, and indicate how presentation of your research will benefit 
other SHA members.  Along with this please send the following 
materials: 1) proof of university registration (a photocopy of your 
student ID is sufficient); 2) a letter of reference from your advisor 
sent directly to me as Chair (please let me know if the notice reaches 
any applicants late and you need some extra time to get your adviser’s 
letter); 3) your abstract submission (if you perhaps cannot remember 
the details of what you promised to present, please email [log in to unmask] 
for a gentle reminder); and 4) a copy of your curriculum vitae.  Award 
checks will be sent to after the conference.
The deadline for submissions is fast approaching on December 1st, so 
please consider applying now if you are a graduate student who is 
presenting, and please encourage any graduate student advisees or 
colleagues whose costs would be defrayed by this award.  Do email me 
directly if you have any questions.

thanks,
Paul
