The Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI) is inviting submissions for the student scholarship programme to facilitate attendance at the October international conference, with a deadline of 31 March, and also draws attention to submission for the Student Scholarships Program and Martin Weaver Student Scholarship.
The Association for Preservation Technology International writes:
Students from all areas of study in historic preservation and conservation are encouraged to apply for an APT Student Scholarship to participate in the APT San Antonio 2016 Conference. Applications are accepted by submitting an abstract that summarizes research and/or a project that addresses the 2016 conference theme and tracks.
You will be informed of your status in late April. If selected, in May you will be assigned an APT mentor who is a member of the College of Fellows, and a session chair, who will oversee the session you will present in.
You will be included as a conference presenter, which requires collaborating with the session chair and other presenters to create a cohesive session. You will be expected to prepare a 5 to 10-minute oral presentation (with PowerPoint slides) based on the abstract topic. Your faculty advisor, mentor and session chair, will be prepared to assist you as needed.
As a student scholar, you will be able to participate in the APT San Antonio 2016 conference at no cost. In exchange, you are expected to actively participate in all aspects of the conference, attend all events for which you have tickets, and any student scholarship activities. Your Student Scholarship includes
- APT student membership through June 2017
- One full conference registration
- One ticket for the following (excluding the APT Social):
- APT Ottawa 2017 Preview Lunch, Student Scholar Recognition and APT Annual Meeting
- Chapters Breakfast
- Breakfast with Exhibitors
- APT Awards Banquet
- Housing in a shared room for three nights
- Cash stipend to help cover reasonable travel and food costs
The following themes, which form the conference tracks, will be explored throughout the conference.

- Vernacular Heritage: Honouring the Ordinary
