To encourage student participation in the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology annual meeting, the Development and Executive Committees are pleased to announce initiation of the Student Member Travel grant program beginning with the 2006 SVP Annual Meeting in Ottawa, Canada. We plan to expand the Student Travel grant program in subsequent years and to develop an endowment to fund grants.  For more information, visit http://vertpaleo.org/meetings/studenttravel.cfm.
