Description
The Americas Fund is a competitive travel award administered by the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) through its Endowment Awards. It supports students from Latin America in attending and presenting at the SFS Annual Meeting, helping them participate in the Society’s annual scientific gathering.
The fund provides dedicated support for travel associated with that participation, rather than funding a separate research project or a broader program of scientific work. Both attendance and presentation are central to the award’s purpose. It forms part of SFS’s long-term funding programs supporting members’ research, conservation activities, and participation in the Annual Meeting.
