2017 Fellowship Winners

Fellowship Description

Every spring the Scholarship Committee of the Department of Biological Sciences accepts applications for research fellowships intended to assist biology students working toward the M.S. degree. M.A. and MBT students conducting significant independent research projects in Biology Department labs will also be considered. The awards are to be used for supplies, equipment, travel to study sites, or any other reasonable direct expenses incurred during the recipient’s thesis research. Requests to support travel to scientific meetings will be considered, but will generally be given lower priority. Use of the award for salary, tuition, or reimbursement of previous expenditures is prohibited.
