SGS Student Scholarship Awards

The Southern Gerontological Society Student Support Scholarship Award was established in 2014 to support student members of SGS who have been accepted to present at the SGS annual meeting.

Two students were granted scholarships to help to defray travel costs associated with attending and presenting at the Annual Meeting.

Note: Given the circumstances that this meeting was held virtually, the award committee determined that the scholarship funds would be used to offset the conference registration costs for any student presenting as the first author on their presentation at the 2021 SGS Virtual Conference. There were 38 awards given to students who met this criteria.
