Maybe it is you, or maybe it is someone you know. Student Opportunities The Georgia Chapter of the AFS understands how important student involvement is to accomplishing the American Fisheries Society mission "to improve the conservation and sustainability of fishery resources and aquatic ecosystems by advancing fisheries and aquatic science and promoting the development of fisheries professionals." Following the 2015 Southern Division AFS Savannah meeting, the GA-AFS began exploring options to reinvest the meeting profits in a way that would benefit our student members and also provide opportunities to attract new membership to the Georgia Chapter. Both scholarship and travel stipend funding were discussed as important among GA-AFS members, and therefore, the Ronnie J. Gilbert Student Scholarship and Georgia Chapter AFS Undergraduate Travel Stipend were both created. *Ronnie J. Gilbert Student Scholarship* The GA-AFS Chapter is proud to offer an annual scholarship program *open to both undergraduate and graduate students*. The Ronnie J. Gilbert Student Scholarship provides $500 to one outstanding student who is a member of the Georgia Chapter of the American Fisheries Society at the time of their application. College students at any level of undergraduate or postgraduate education are encouraged to apply. However, students are only eligible to win a scholarship once per degree track (e.g. a student could win once as an undergraduate and once as a master’s candidate but not twice as an undergraduate). The winner will be expected to serve a one-year term on the scholarship and undergraduate travel stipend awards selection committee. To apply for the Ronnie J. Gilbert Student Scholarship, please complete the application. Submit completed applications to Jackson Sibley at [log in to unmask] with a subject line "Ronnie J. Gilbert Student Scholarship Application." *Application Deadline for Scholarship:* December 1, 2017. *Georgia Chapter AFS Undergraduate Travel Stipend* The GA-AFS Chapter is pleased to offer an Undergraduate Travel Stipend to attend GA-AFS annual meetings. The undergraduate travel stipend will provide lodging and meeting registration to attend the GA-AFS annual meeting. The number of awards presented each year will depend on the amount of funding available in the Student Opportunity Fund, the cost of lodging, and the number of student applicants. Recipients of the travel stipend will be expected to assist with various duties at the annual meeting. To apply for the Undergraduate Travel Stipend, please complete the application.
