Defense Fund is offering travel grants [[link removed]] to student chapters to attend the Animal Law Conference and Student Convention! Grants are awarded on a first come, first served basis and they will go quickly.

(The safety of our attendees and speakers is our top priority. To protect all Conference and Convention participants and ensure compliance with applicable orders and government advisories, we reserve the right to hold the Conference and Convention as a fully virtual event, if we determine we cannot safely and lawfully host the Conference and Covention in person on the date of the event. If the Conference and Convention is held virtually, all in-person tickets will automatically convert to live stream tickets, with the price difference refunded to the purchaser, unless the purchaser requests a full refund.)
