Recipients are encouraged to attend the AASV 2013 Annual Meeting and the 2013 Leman Conference, and must submit a written summary and evaluation of their experiences upon completion of the program. Each of the six selected students receives a stipend of $3300 to defray the cost of participating in the internship.
