Each year the CGS provides the opportunity for local sections to sponsor students and/or members-in training (EITs and GITs) to attend the annual conference. The students/MITs are selected by their local CGS sections and funded one third by CGS National, one third by the local conference and one third by their section up to a total maximum support of $900. CGS Sections that are considering sponsoring a CGS Student/MIT to attend the 2019 conference, should start the process now to encourage students/MITs to submit an abstract to GeoSt.John’s 2019 by December 15, 2018.
