Student scholarship applications for the September 2018 APTI conference in Buffalo, NY are now open.
Students from across the world have played an important role in APT conferences since the 1986 inception of the Student Scholarships Program. Their student presentations have become of great interest to Conference participants.
Through the Student Scholarships Program, students from all areas of study in the field of historic preservation/conservation submit abstracts that illustrate research or a project that they have developed to address an aspect of preservation/conservation technology. Scholarship recipient selection is based on: the quality of a submitted abstract; how well the concepts demonstrate excellence in the student’s area of study; a personal statement; and, the appropriateness of the subject to the conference theme.
Each scholarship recipient is required to create an electronic presentation (e.g. PowerPoint) to support his/her oral presentation during the APT fall Conference.
Scholarship Benefits
All jury-selected scholars will:
•Be granted a Conference registration, a stipend for hotel and travel expenses, and one-year student membership to APT.
•Have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one networking with industry professionals from around the world.
•Be paired with an APT College of Fellows mentor who will guide the student through the presentation process and provide introductions to industry colleagues.
•Be added to the growing network of past APT Student Scholars, who are catalogued in an alumni register.
The Western Chapter of APT (WCAPT) also provides individual scholarships for the amount up to $500 via the “WCAPT Student Scholarship Fund,” which is separate from the APTI Scholarships (Student Scholar Program). See a description below.
