  • All scholarship participants will be asked to book transportation to the meeting on their own rather than using the ACR travel agent. Scholarship participants will be reimbursed after the meeting for their travel expenses.
  • Participants will not receive a ground transportation stipend.
  • All scholarship participants will be asked to share a room with a co-fellow during the annual meeting. Those without a roommate available at their institution will be paired with a fellow from another institution. If a scholarship participant does not wish to share a room, he or she will be responsible for half of the cost of the room. Special requests for a private room will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
