| Contest / Scholarship | Association for Women in Science: Predoctoral Awards | ||
| Type: | Science | ||
| Description: | Check website for new solid date. Requirements, etc., remain approximately the same for the new year. About 5-10 AWIS graduate fellowships in the amount of $1,000 are awarded each year. The four memorial awards are: (1) Amy Lutz Rechel Award, for an outstanding graduate student in the field of plant biology, (2) Luise Meyer-Schutzmeister Award, for an outstanding graduate student in physics (see note below), (3) Ruth Satter Award, for an outstanding graduate student who interrupted her education for at least three years to raise a family, and (4) the Diane H. Russell Award, for an outstanding graduate student in the field of biochemistry or pharmacology. AWIS may also award Citations of Merit ($300). NOTE: For predoctoral fellowship applicants in the field of physics, do not use the links below for application forms. The Schutzmeister award competition is managed by Dr. Gerald Hardie at Western Michigan University. To request application forms contact him at gerald.hardie@wmich.edu. (This does not apply to the college scholarship or Lorentzen award applicants in the field of physics.) Who May Apply? In general, female students enrolled in a behavioral, life, physical, or social science or engineering program leading to a Ph.D. degree may apply. See the detailed list in the application instructions to confirm eligibility of your field. All applicants except those for the Satter award must have passed their department's qualifying exam and expect to complete their degree by June 2009. (Satter award applicants may apply at any time in their Ph.D program, including the first year.) Non-U.S. citizens must be enrolled in a Ph.D. program at a university in the United States. Previous applicants to this program may not reapply. Eligibility criteria are subject to change. Evaluation Criteria Reviewers consider academic achievement, the importance of the research question addressed, the quality of the research, and the applicant's potential for future contributions to science or engineering. The program is quite competitive, with about 100 applicants last year. |
