Student Travel Support

The Southern Forest Tree Improvement Committee (SFTIC) wants to promote and recognize student participation in Forest Genetics 2025 – ‘Harnessing Genetic Diversity for Resilient Forests’ – a joint conference between the Western Forest Genetics Association (WFGA), Southern Forest Tree Improvement Committee (SFTIC), and Northern Forest Genetics Association (NFGA). To promote student attendance and participation, SFTIC is offering fifteen (15) $500 student travel stipends on a first-come first-served basis to all registered students that will be presenting a poster or giving an oral presentation. Payment will be made to poster presenters at the end of the poster presentation and to those giving oral presentations at the end of the conference once submission of an abstract, extended abstract, or full paper has been made to the proceedings. To request a stipend please notify SFTIC Secretary-Treasurer Fred Raley at fraley@tfs.tamu.edu.
