Funds will be disbursed at the Volvox 2017 meeting to attendees who will be chosen based on qualifications and need. Award amounts will depend on total funding available and number of participants requesting assistance. We will do our best to accommodate as many attendees as possible.

The awards are made possible by a grant from the American Genetics Association.
