A novice familiarity of Spanish is preferred, but not required. Applicants must either have taken 1 or more EMHS classes as of Summer 2018 -OR- be enrolled in at least 1 EMHS class during Summer 2018.

Researchers will be asked to attend required weekly meetings and training in weeks leading up to departure. Interested students are asked to submit:

All students interested in Emergency Management are invited to apply for a Student Scholarship to attend the 32nd Annual Governor’s Hurricane Conference. Degree or certificate seeking students currently enrolled in a public or private institution of higher education, at the graduate or undergraduate level, who have taken or are taking emergency management related courses as part of their academic program, are eligible to apply for a scholarship to attend the 2018 GHC. While a student’s major or minor concentration of study need not be “emergency management” specifically, they should demonstrate that their field of study has a direct impact to overall emergency preparedness, response, recovery and/or mitigation. Application deadline for this opportunity is March 2, 2018. For more information, visit the Governor's Hurricane Conference Website.

In addition to the scholarship, GHC is also offering an opportunity for students to have their research selected for presentation at the conference. Presentation information and application form can be found on the GHC website. Application and abstract must be submitted by March 9, 2018

**EMHS students selected for either of these opportunities may be eligable for travel and lodging assistance provided by EMHS. For requirements and details, students must contact Jarrett Broder before applying.
