I am a graduate student representative and member of a Graduate Committee (SS-GC, RC/SIG-GC, SAC). Can I accept an award in addition to my travel funding as a Graduate Committee representative?
A. That depends. If the award is from SOT national, then you MAY NOT accept both the award funds and the GC travel funding. SOT policy dictates that you may receive funds from only one source through SOT national—You may decide which award/funding to accept. However, you MAY accept funds from as many Regional Chapter, Special Interest Group, or Specialty Section awards as you are eligible and selected to receive, according to their policies.
