Folks,
All students who are presenting a paper at the 2012 SHA conference 
should consider applying for the Ed and Judy Jelks Student Travel 
Award.  Two $500 awards will be presented to students who are 
presenting a paper or poster or participating in a symposium at the 
2012 conference in Baltimore.  Applicants must be currently enrolled in 
a degree program, be a member of SHA, and be presenting a paper at the 
2012 conference.  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 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 a copy of your curriculum vitae. 
  Reference letters from advisors are not required, but please identify 
your major advisor(s) in your letter or CV.  Award checks will be sent 
to you after the conference.
The deadline for submissions is November 15th, so please consider 
applying now if you are a student who is presenting, and please 
encourage any student advisees or colleagues whose costs would be 
defrayed by this award.  Do email me directly if you have any questions.

thanks,
Paul
