Beth B. Hess Memorial Scholarship

The Beth B. Hess Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a new or continuing graduate student who began her study in a community college or technical school. A student accepted in an accredited MA or PhD program in sociology in the United States is eligible to apply if she or he studied for at least one full academic year at a two-year college in the US before transferring to complete a BA. The Scholarship carries a stipend to be used to support the pursuit of graduate studies as well as a one-year membership in Sociologists for Women in Society (including a subscription to Gender & Society). The Scholarship will be awarded at the Annual Meeting of SWS, ASA, and SSSP in New York, NY, August 11-14 2007. The awardee¿s economy class airfare, train fare or driving mileage/tolls will be paid by SSSP, SWS and ASA (applicants for this award should also apply for an ASA student travel award; more than one such award may be given). Each association will also waive meeting registration and provide complementary banquet or reception tickets for the awardee.
