The VWR Travel Grant was established in 2011. This money is intended to maximize the number of attendees at the trade show so that NAOSMM can fully utilize the buying power of its members in securing the best pricing from our vendors. VWR and NAOSMM will decide annually, based on need, the amount of this fund.

This fund will be divided into non-repayable awards and given to regular NAOSMM members who meet the established guidelines. Primary consideration will be given to those members who are active in NAOSMM. The award may be used to supplement partial funding provided by the employer or as “seed money” to encourage employers to match the award.
