- The Ethnic Diversity Fund was established by the original donor to help encourage participation at ABS meetings by individuals belonging to ethnic groups under-represented in the ABS. It was suggested that the money could be used to help graduate students to attend ABS meetings by helping to defray the cost of attendance.
- Earnings from the Fund are therefore available to cover the ABS annual meeting fees of students who are African-American, Native American, Asian American, and Latino/a (or "Hispanic") American and non-white Africans who are not American citizens or residents, including residents of Central and South America.
- The number of awards will be determined by the interest earned by the Ethnic Diversity Fund in each year and by the amount of the student registration fee. Availability of the award will be announced by the President in the November NEWSLETTER and the recipients of the awards will be determined by a lottery including all valid applications received before a date set by the President. Applications for the award should be sent directly to the Treasurer.
