The Women’s in Chemical Engineering Community (WIC) recognizes that dependent and family care needs significantly impact the costs associated with attending professional meetings. Towards this end, we are excited to offer Family Care Awards (up to $500) to alleviate costs incurred by AIChE Members attending the 2024 Annual Meeting in San Diego.
Examples of costs that will be supported through these awards include, but are not limited to, airfare & lodging for dependents and/or caregivers accompanying you to San Diego, costs incurred due to additional care (after-care, additional care-giver hours) or on-site childcare or babysitters hired in San Diego. Dependents may include immediate family members (e.g. children, parents, spouse, siblings, grandparents).
This award program is open to all AIChE members attending the 2024 Annual Meeting in San Diego to present an accepted technical abstract. Priority will be given to applicants with greater demonstrated financial need.
Please send all application materials in electronic format using the online application below. Materials must include
