Description
The Fellows Fund is 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’ participation in the SFS Annual Meeting by helping fund travel to attend and present.
The award is specifically for meeting-related travel, rather than a separate research or project activity. Attendance and presentation are both central to its purpose, and recipients must use the travel support for those activities at the annual meeting. The fund maintains a memorial to Christy Fellows while supporting Australian students’ participation in the society’s scientific gathering.
