[Proflist] AMS Student Programs

[Michelle Flores]

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is pleased to announce that 
they are currently accepting applications for the 2008/2009 AMS 
fellowship and scholarship programs and the 88th AMS Annual Meeting 
travel opportunities.

The AMS encourages fellowship and scholarship applications form women, 
minorities, and disabled students traditionally underrepresented in the 
atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences.  The fellowship 
and scholarship programs are supported by AMS members, corporations, and 
government agencies nationwide.  The  information and applications are 
available at the AMS web site.
The AMS also provides annual meeting travel opportunities for students.  
The 88th AMS Annual Meeting will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana; 20 
January - 24 January 2008.  The 7th AMS Student Conference and 
Networking Reception will also take place Saturday, 19 January and 
Sunday, 20 January.  The AMS strongly encourages student participation 
at the annual meeting.  Therefore, AMS has established programs that 
help provide partial travel support to students wishing to attend the 
meeting.

Please assist them in getting the word out to students concerning these 
rewarding programs.  For your convenience, I am providing you with the

They kindly ask that you help them to circulate information about these 
programs and take the time to print and post and/or distribute the 
flyers.  They hope to reach as many qualifying students as possible with 
your help.
