Description
The Fellows Fund is a conference-travel award administered by the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) through its Endowment Awards program. Established in memory of Christine (Christy) Susan Fellows, it supports Australian students who are current SFS members in travelling to the Society’s Annual Meeting and presenting their work there.
The fund’s purpose is specifically to support participation and presentation at the annual meeting, rather than a separate research project or fieldwork activity. It sits within SFS’s broader research and travel awards program, which supports members working in freshwater science. Fellows Fund recipients must use their award for meeting travel and must present at the event, rather than attend alone.
