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. General information about the conference is at the conference website http://eh.net/HE/HisEcSoc/carchive/HES2006/index.shtml and information specifically about the Young Scholar sessions is at http://eh.net/HE/HisEcSoc/carchive/HES2006/yspage.shtml D.
