SCHOLARSHIP: GRADUATE DIVERSITY AWARD
In recognition of the recommendation made by the Racial Diversity Committee in the fall of 2003, the NASSS Conference Programme Committee has implemented a scholarship for a graduate student who is a member of a racial or ethnic “minority” group. The purpose of the scholarship is to create a mechanism to identify racial and/or ethnic “minority” graduate students who are doing research in the area of sport sociology and to provide a means of supporting their work and association with NASSS. The award is for $500 to be applied toward expenses associated with attendance at the NASSS 2010 Conference in San Diego, California, USA.
Applicants must be members of NASSS. The application process for the scholarship is as follows:
* graduate students who wish to be considered should prepare a one-page essay, which addresses how they plan to contribute to the field of sociology of sport/physical activity.
* essays should be submitted along with a faculty recommendation from someone who is familiar with the student’s work and aspirations.
* applications will be reviewed by the NASSS Diversity and Conference and Climate Committee.
* announcements regarding the selected applicant will be announced at the end of September 2010.
Application Deadline: 18 September, 2010 via e-mail.
