Student Travel fund
The current balance of the fund as of July 2007 was $5,662.36. No award was made in 2007 due to inadequacy of funds. The minimum balance required by the APS Foundation for granting an annual award is $8,000. This award can make a big difference to graduate students who study forest pathology. There are several ways to donate to this fund.  Members can either donate to Forest Pathology Student Travel Fund when he/she pays their annual membership fee, donate via the APS Foundation website, or simply drop by the APS foundation booth during the APS annual meeting.

(update on the history of the fund is being developed)
