These monetary awards are cash payments, made available by HCM's gracious sponsors, and can be used in any way to help defray the costs of attending this year's annual meeting.
Application Process: To request one of these monetary awards, please send an email to the HCM Chair-Elect Amber Stephenson (mail to AStephenson@psu.edu) using the subject line "HCM Annual Meeting Monetary Awards".
In your email, please share the following:
- Whether or not you are presenting a paper, are part of a PDW, or are a leadership team member at the annual meeting, and
- How you meet the eligibility requirements listed above.
These monetary awards will be distributed to eligible applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.
Thank you!
