Financial Assistance

The program provides waived meeting registration, and in some cases, a stipend to defray costs of attendance, for example travel or dependent care.
Individuals of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic and familial status, gender identifies, and different abilities are encouraged to apply. Individuals from indigenous communities and minority serving institutions are especially encouraged to apply.
Grants for professionals are brought to you by the SETAC North America Endowment Fund.
