Announcement from the Graduate Student Advisory Committee - Call for travel grant donations
Gentiana Sadikaj & Thane Erickson
The Graduate Student Advisory Committee is reaching out to the membership to ask for donations to the student travel grant fund. The student travel grant fund, first introduced for our 2011 conference, helps defray travel costs for students who are presenting their research at the annual conference. SITAR is registered with the US Internal Revenue Service and State of California as a nonprofit tax exempt organization under IRS Code 501(c)(3). As such, your donation may be fully deductible as a charitable contribution on your US tax return(s).

As you may know, SITAR continuing
to make considerable efforts to become more visible internationally,
and to expand its membership. A key component of this process continues
to be attracting young researchers to our meetings and promoting their
return as members. All indicators suggest that the travel grant program
has been effective in promoting these objectives. However, the travel
grant program can only be successful with the support of SITAR’s professional members.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the travel grant fund. The window of opportunity is closing fst for helping a student presenter attend the upcoming meeting. We have a record number of 24 applicants this year! Any amount will help us in reaching our target of US$ 1500. To meet the high demand for funds this year, SITAR pledges to match the dollar amount of every donation that is made.
