Hannah T. Croasdale Fellowship
PHYCOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
In 1987, the Phycological Society of America established the Hannah T. Croasdale Endowment Fund. Income generated by the fund's endowment supports the Croasdale Fellowship program. This program is designed to encourage graduate students to broaden their phycological training by attending phycology courses at biological field stations. To that end, financial assistance is provided.
Eligibility: Applicants must be members of PSA. They must be currently enrolled in a graduate program or formally admitted at the time of the submission of the application.
Awards: Fellowship awards are made in the amount of up to $1,000 and are intended to defray costs incurred in taking the course: tuition, travel, room and board. Awards are made directly to the student. The purpose of the award is to broaden phycological training, not necessarily to further research goals. Fellowship support for attending technique courses may be requested from the Grants-in Aid Research Program.
Evaluation and Selection: Selection of recipients will be based on the overall merit and need of the applicant. These qualities will be judged from information provided in the completed application, transcripts, and a letter of recommendation from the applicant's major professor. Applications will be evaluated by the members of the PSA Grants and Fellowships Committee, and will be notified of the committee's decision as soon as it is available.
Application procedure: To be eligible for consideration, send one (1) electronic copy (Adobe Acrobat format preferred) of all application materials to Janet E Kubler [janet.kubler@csun.edu] on or before March 1, 2007. The applicant must complete the application (below). If possible, a copy of her/his transcript (unofficial copies are acceptable) should be submitted. The student must request a short letter of recommendation from his/her major advisor. Please have your advisor submit only one (1) copy of this letter to Janet E Kubler [janet.kubler@csun.edu]. The March 1 deadline also applies to the letter of recommendation. Applications and questions should be directed to Janet E Kubler [janet.kubler@csun.edu]
