Donations Needed for ISTSS Travel Grants Fund

ISTSS offers travel grants to support conference attendees coming from developing countries and experiencing financial hardship with fees or travel costs. These grants usually are made from member donations accompanying annual membership fees.

This year, as with last year, you may make a donation in one of three other ways: use the secure online form at http://lockbox.secure-orders.net/istss/travelgrant.cfm; send a check in U.S. funds payable to the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, P.O. Box 71560, Chicago, IL 60694-1560 USA; or fax your Visa, MasterCard or American Express card number, expiration date and contact information to 847/480-9282. Indicate clearly that this money is to be used specifically for the Travel Grant Fund.

You also are invited to apply for a travel grant or submit names of others who qualify. Grants will be awarded based on applications received by July 1, 2003. Individuals selected to receive a travel grant will be notified in writing by September 1, 2003. Contact ISTSS headquarters at 847-480-9028 for a form, or download the form at http://www.istss.org/meetings/international.htm.
