The deadline for proposals for the Young Scholar sessions at the 2006  
HES conference at Grinnell College June 23-26 has been extended until  
February 28th.   
  
Eligible candidates who have not submitted a proposal  
should do so by that date using the Young Scholar Registration form  
  
http://eh.net/HE/HisEcSoc/carchive/HES2006/yspaperreg.shtml  
  
Those accepted for the Young Scholar sessions will receive free  
registration, a conference banquet ticket, and a year's membership in  
the society. Those receiving Young Scholar awards will be notified by  
mid-March. In addition, a limited amount of funding is available to  
cover accommodation costs for a few Young Scholars. In order to be  
eligible for this additional support, a candidate must 1) have  
submitted a proposal by the Feb. 28th deadline and had it accepted for  
the Young Scholar program, 2) send a copy of the paper being presented  
(not just the proposal/abstract) to the HES President, D. Wade Hands,  
via e-mail by April 15th. Those receiving the additional award will be  
notified by May 15th.
