 Scholarships for ALT8

 ALT has a limited amount of funds to provide support for a number of ALT
 members attending the ALT8 Conference.  Financial support is available
 for members whose abstract has been accepted (oral presentation or poster),
 and will be awarded on the basis of financial need of the applicant.

 ALT members wishing to apply for financial support should send an
 application to the Secretary-Treasurer before April 23rd at
 jean-christophe.verstraete at arts.kuleuven.be. The application should
 consist of a brief statement (one paragraph) explaining why the applicant
 considers herself/himself to be in need of financial assistance, and an
 estimate of the costs to be covered.

 ALT scholarships are intended for scholars from developing countries and
 for students anywhere.
