Since 2005, the Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc., has awarded scholarships to allow graduate students in apiculture to attend the annual North American Beekeeping Conference. Attendance at this national gathering provides the recipients an opportunity to meet other researchers and beekeepers and to present their research at the meeting. The intent of the scholarships is to foster professional development for young apicultural scientists. Scholarships are available to all graduate students. Graduate students at universities outside the U.S. are invited to apply.
