The Society of Bead Researchers is happy to announce its first ever Student
Conference Travel Award to assist undergraduate or graduate students to
travel to a national or international conference to present a paper on some
aspect of bead research. The award is for $500 and the applicant must be
enrolled in a BA, MA, or PhD degree-granting program anywhere in the world.
They also *need to be a current member* of the Society for Bead
Researchers. <https://beadresearch.org/membership>

To apply for the award, you must submit the following:
1) Title and abstract (300 word limit) of your presentation;
2) Letter of acceptance from the conference where you plan to present the
paper;
2) A brief statement outlining how your presentation expands our knowledge
of beads and their role in society, and how your participation in the
conference will be beneficial to your career and future research; and
3) Your CV, including your contact information, and the name and email of
your faculty advisor.

Send the above material to Karlis Karklins <[log in to unmask]>, head of
the Award’s Committee. The deadline for submissions for conferences in late
2018 and early 2019 is September 15, 2018. Pending availability of funds, a
second award may be announced with a deadline of January 15, 2019 for
conferences later in the year.

The awardee will be selected by the Executive Committee of the SBR on the
basis of originality, scholarship, and relevance to the overall mission of
the SBR (https://beadresearch.org/about-us/).

Applicants will be notified about the results of the award competition as
soon as possible after the committee meets to decide on the award.
