Clinician Scholarship Program
Application Deadline: November 1, 2010
Scholarship Description
The Clinician Scholarship Program allows recipients to gain new
knowledge and skills in the field of eating disorders and share this
knowledge and experience with their respective communities. The AED
clinician scholarship program helps defray ICED costs for clinicians and
educators who otherwise might not be able to afford conference fees.
Applicants must be AED members, or a membership application must be
submitted with the scholarship application.
Scholarships of up to $1,250 will be awarded to defray the costs of
conference fees, travel, and hotel accommodations for the 2011 ICED to
be held in Miami, Florida, USA, April 28 - 30, 2011. This year’s
scholarships have been made possible by generous donations of those who
contributed to the AED Scholarship Fund.
In accordance with the goals of the program, the applicant's work environment and ability to disseminate information obtained at the meeting will be strongly considered. Preference will be given to members early in their careers, those from underrepresented groups, and those who are working in developing areas. As the intent of the scholarship is to provide both educational opportunities and opportunities to meet and establish contacts with other clinicians, educators and researchers, applicants are strongly encouraged to register for workshops and to attend all the social events during the conference.
Recipients will be informed prior to the meeting, and award checks will be issued before traveling to the conference. Applicants must ensure that there is a source of funding for the costs that are not covered by the scholarship.
Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously
received the clinician scholarship.
