AAPT has small grants up to $400 available for AAPT national meeting attendees who are bringing small children to a national meeting or who incur extra expenses in leaving their children at home (i.e., extra daycare or babysitting services) in order to attend a national meeting.
Applications must be received by December 1, 2013 to be considered by the Child Care Grant Selection Committee for a grant associated with the 2014 Winter Meeting.
