Description
The Americas Fund is a competitive travel award administered by the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) through its Endowment Awards program. It supports students from Latin America in traveling to attend and present at the SFS Annual Meeting. Meeting participation and presentation are the central activities supported, rather than a separate research project.
The fund sits within the society’s broader research and travel awards program. SFS is an international scientific society dedicated to understanding freshwater ecosystems and the organisms that live in them. The Americas Fund specifically connects travel support with students’ participation in the society’s annual scientific meeting.
