Mary Jane Eimer Student Convention Scholarship
In recognition of her 45 years as ABCT’s Executive Director and honoring her commitment to supporting students, we are pleased to announce this call for applications for the Mary Jane Eimer Student Convention Scholarship. This scholarship is an endowed award that will be offered annually through the generous donations of ABCT past presidents and governance members who worked with Mary Jane.
There are 20 scholarships available to current ABCT student members. Each awardee will be given $100 in travel expenses and complimentary registration for the 2026 60th ABCT Annual Convention in Baltimore, November 12-15, 2026. Scholarships will be offered on the basis of financial need to students interested in attending the convention, regardless of whether they plan to present their work. These awards aim to reduce barriers to access to the convention, consistent with ABCT’s goal of increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and justice (DEIAJ). At least ten of these awards will be reserved for students identifying with groups historically underrepresented in our field (including, but not limited to, students who identify as people of color, LGBTQIA+, and/or disabled).
To apply, complete the form below and save as a file named “[student last name] Eimer Convention Scholarship”.
Email the form to Stephen Crane, Senior Director of Education and Meeting Services, ABCT, at [email protected] in the subject line “ABCT Mary Jane Eimer Student Convention Scholarship.”
Submissions must be received by 5 pm EDT on Friday, August 14, 2026. Applicants will be updated on the status of their application thereafter. If the deadline has passed, ABCT will honor the preregistration rates if you are not selected for the scholarship and still wish to attend the convention.
