The AAGT Scholarship Fund exists:
- To encourage a growing community of diverse practitioners and students from all over the world to attend our conferences
- So that we can share and grow together
This wonderful achievement could not have been made without Bud Feder, whose passion, dedication and generosity throughout the history of the AAGTscholarship fund has helped so many of us come to our conferences.
A little message from Bud, after our Asilomar conference:
“Many people have told me that the event at my award ceremony where many of you identified yourselves as recipients and facilitated small groups was one of the best ever and helped members be aware of what the fund really is: not a bunch of numbers but a vital flesh and blood contingent that contributes so much to the conferences…. and to the organization [many SF recipients have joined and been very active, serving on committees and on the board.
Thank you so much, SF Class of 2014! Bud Feder”
The Board and the AAGT Scholarship Fund Committee have decided that the Scholarship Fund be renamed as “the Bud Feder AAGT ScholarshipFund”.
And, as a way of honoring Bud’s contribution to our organization, we encourage donations of any size to the Fund at this time.
Thank you.
