Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund
APS is pleased to announce the initiation of the Society's Hurricane
Katrina Relief Fund. The Fund is designed to help our scientific
colleagues and friends to cope with the after effects of the storm. With
an initial commitment of $50,000, Council has recommended that funds be
provided to support graduate students and postdoctoral fellows by
providing unrestricted grants of $2,000 to help them replace belongings,
pay for relocation costs, etc. It is expected that the graduate students
and postdoctoral fellows supported by this Fund will either be APS members
or working in laboratories of APS members. APS will accept applications
and work with the chairs of the affected departments to assess need.
Applications can be accessed by clicking on the link below. Based on the
response from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, the APS Council
will consider increasing its contribution to the relief fund.
Applications Are No Longer Being Accepted
