Please use the online award nomination form to apply for the Equal Opportunities Section (EOS) Travel Award to attend the Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society (AFS).

Information regarding the EOS can be found at: https://equalopportunity.fisheries.org/

Information regarding the AFS meeting can be found at: https://afsannualmeeting.fisheries.org/

The AFS EOS leads an effort to increase participation in AFS by graduate and undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups in the fisheries field (including but not limited to people who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), disabled, LGTBQIA2S+, and women).

EOS travel awards will be awarded on a competitive basis to assist at least two students with expenses incurred while attending the Annual Meeting and membership dues.

EOS travel awards are approximately $800 each. Award winners are asked to attend the Alphabet Social (Day and time TBD) at the Annual Meeting for recognition of their award.

 

How to apply:

2025 awards are closed. Stay tuned for information in 2026.

The EOS encourages applications from students who have not attended AFS meetings in the past. If desired by the student, the EOS Executive Committee will designate a meeting contact to ensure first time attendees always have a familiar face at the Annual Meeting.
