The ACR will soon be accepting applications for the Fellows-in-Training (FIT) Travel Scholarship, which gives fellows-in-training the opportunity to experience the 2010 ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting. Through the scholarship program, rheumatology fellows can network and learn from other fellows-in-training. In addition to free meeting registration, fellows-in-training will be provided support for five nights’ accommodations, airfare, and ground transportation, and will receive an invitation to attend—with their program directors—a fellow’s reception.
Scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis; preference is given to applicants who are ACR fellow-in-training members or have submitted a completed application for fellows-in-training membership before July 15.
The FIT Travel Scholarship is sponsored by the ACR Fellows Education Fund. Eligible fellows-in-training can apply for this scholarship from July 19 through August 9. For more information, visit www.rheumatology.org/education. If you have specific questions about applying, e-mail fittravel@rheumatology.org.
