ANNOUNCING THE 2008 YOUNG SCHOLARS PROGRAMAPEE has received a grant to help young faculty and graduate students attend our annual meeting April 6-8, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV. These funds are designed to encourage younger scholars to consider the advantages of APEE membership. Successful applicants will have their registration fees reduced to $75 (normally $390) and be eligible for a stipend of up to $595 toward travel expenses. To apply applicants must supply us with the following: (1) a short essay (250-300 words) explaining why the applicant wishes to attend the meeting; (2) a short letter of reference, preferably from an APEE member or someone known to APEE indicating why support should be provided to the nominee, and (3) a brief letter from the applicant's department chair or graduate director indicating the level of departmental support that the applicant can expect for this trip. Some of the applicants may be on the program and preference will be given to these applications. The deadline for applying is January 25, 2008. Those selected will be notified within two weeks of that date. Successful applicants will be required to register for the conference (at the reduced rate of $75) by February 25, 2008. Please send applications to Dr. E. F. Stephenson at efstephenson@berry.edu . If you have questions, you may email him or call him at (706) 238-7878.
