The Scholarship Foundation of the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) is pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of student travel awards for the 34th annual NHCA conference, to be held February 12-14 in Atlanta. In addition to outstanding technical presentations on hearing loss prevention, there will be numerous opportunities to attend in-depth workshops, poster sessions, and discussion groups. We have a wonderful program in store, as well as a fantastic Friday night social event at the Georgia Aquarium. For preliminary information on the 2009 program, visit the NHCA website at: www.hearingconservation.org/conf_info2009.html.
The Student Travel Award includes paid registration to two workshops (Feb. 12) and the annual conference (Feb. 13 & 14), plus lunches, social activities, and partial reimbursement of travel expenses. The Award is available to students who are actively pursuing a graduate degree in a discipline related to hearing conservation and who are enrolled at least half-time in an accredited educational institution. Previous recipients of the NHCA Student Travel Award include masters- and doctoral-level students in audiology, human factors engineering, industrial hygiene, and public health, from a variety of universities across the country.
Interested students may contact the NHCA office (303.224.9022) or visit the NHCA website for more information about the award and to download a 1-page application: www.hearingconservation.org/as_nhcaFoundation.html#Travel . The completed application and one letter of recommendation must be received in the NHCA office by December 1, 2008. Students will be notified of results by January 1.
