Note – abstracts for presentations must be submitted to the meeting organizing committee on the date to be announced on the society website. Applications for the Becker Award will also be due on that date.

Objective
This cash award was established to provide some financial assistance for a student or students to travel to Joint Annual Meetings to present a paper or poster. One or more awards of $500 each may be presented yearly. The annual occurrence of the award and number of awards presented yearly will depend on the financial standing of the Society.  This award honours the memory of Dr. Ed Becker, a distinguished entomologist, Honorary Member and Fellow of the Society, who served for 25 years as Treasurer and also as the Editor of the Senior Entomologist's Newsletter.   The naming of this award after Dr. Becker is particularly apt as he attended 49 consecutive Annual Meetings. 

Eligibility
