Description
The AMS Sectional Meetings Child Care Grants provide financial support to AMS members who are registered participants at AMS sectional meetings, reimbursing up to $125 per family for child care expenses. The goal is to enable parents to participate more fully in the meetings by helping offset the cost of child care, whether arranged at home or at the meeting location. Grants are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and each family may receive only one grant per season (Spring or Fall). Recipients are responsible for making their own child care arrangements, as the AMS does not provide or recommend child care services.
