The Maize Genetics Conference has a long-standing tradition of supporting the attendance and participation of students at our annual meeting. For many years, we have had generous support from our industrial partners as well as from federal granting agencies. However, the number of students requesting financial assistance to attend the meeting is increasing, and the level of sponsorship we obtain from our partners is not able to fully provide for our needs. To help offset the costs for student participation, an endowment has been established by the University of Missouri to provide long-term support for the Maize Genetics Conference. This endowment will be used to cover the expenses for students to attend and participate in the annual Maize Meeting. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the endowment to help to support student participation at the Maize Meeting.
