Summary

The George Stout Scholarship, offered by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation, supports AIC members who are students or recent graduates to attend professional meetings. Established in honor of conservation pioneer George L. Stout, this grant aims to assist qualified applicants with funding for travel, accommodation, and registration costs. Preference is given to those presenting papers or nearing graduation, although meal expenses are not covered.

Overview

The FAIC George Stout Grant supports students and those who have graduated in the past two years who are members of AIC to attend professional meetings. George L. Stout (1897-1978) was a pioneer in conservation of historic and artistic works in America, particularly in his application of scientific techniques to art restoration. The George Stout Memorial Fund for student awards was established in 1981 and has been supplemented by additional gifts over the years. Unless there are sufficient funds, Stout awards are not made to the same individual in succeeding years. FAIC will partially or totally fund as many qualified applicants as possible, given funds available.
