While travel costs include more than just the price of registration, this award is designed to provide leverage for the awardee(s) to garner other needed travel support. Selection for this award is conducted by the FHS Awards Committee and is based upon their sole discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 2026, two travel awards of $250 each will be awarded to a student and an early career professional.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel Award-related News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list is-grid columns-2 has-dates wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/units.fisheries.org\/habitat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2025\/02\/Feature-image_Awards-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/units.fisheries.org\/habitat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2025\/02\/Feature-image_Awards-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/units.fisheries.org\/habitat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2025\/02\/Feature-image_Awards-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/units.fisheries.org\/habitat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2025\/02\/Feature-image_Awards-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/units.fisheries.org\/habitat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2025\/02\/Feature-image_Awards-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/units.fisheries.org\/habitat\/2025-student-and-ecp-travel-awards\/\">2025 Student and ECP Travel Awards<\/a><time datetime=\"2025-06-25T11:03:50-04:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">June 25, 2025<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">We are happy to announce (belatedly) this year&#8217;s travel awards to help you get to San Antonio!
