TAM 2013 forum grant program

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Folks,

Once again, it is time to open the forum grant program for TAM 2013. If you are interested in receiving a grant to cover some or all of the TAM 2013 registration fee, please send me a PM or an email. You must include your name, postal address, email address, and a short paragraph explaining why it is that you should receive a grant. Please also indicate whether you are a student and whether you are a JREF member (not just a forum member).

We ask that if you apply for a forum grant, your plan is to attend all the TAM sessions, rather than simply "hang around at TAM."

We need donations to make these forum grants possible. Starting today, you can send a check to the JREF with "TAM 2013 forum grant donation" written on the memo line. Soon it will be possible to donate online; I will make another post with the specifics when available.

Thanks to all who donate to the TAM 2013 forum grant program.

~~ Paul

I'm sober now.

Please donate.

I am also sober. I will probably donate when they get the on-line thing up, eventually.

 

[Wowbagger]

I will donate to both this and Sara Mayhew's Rising Star grant.

This one has the better, established reputation. But, Sara is giving donors a cute button. So....

You can now donate to the forum grant fund online:

Crossing my fingers that you are still accepting application.

edit: not that I think that crossing my fingers will do anything

Howdy all,

I've been sooooo out of the loop (this is the first time I've logged in since January I think), but I just chipped in a little money. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend TAM this year. Have fun

Cheers - MM

Mattus, say it ain't so! What could possibly keep you away?

Purchasing a new house and the related expenses. Not to mention, my summer is winding up to be hellishly busy. So between those things, I had to drop TAM for this year.

In your absence, I'll take my shirt off and show the ladies what a real man looks like.

I don't know whether to respond to this with fear or sarcasm.

How about laughter

Paul -
How are the grants going this year? Are the donations meeting most of the demand from the applications? Should we announce the names of some grant recipients in an effort to increase donations?

 

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

We have given out 12 grants so far. I should be giving out a couple more in the next few days.

We don't make the names of grant recipients public, but please donate so that more awards can be given.
