SCAPMS Scholarship |
Good
News! The Phillip M. Fields Scholarship is now worth $3,000 to
some deserving student!
The South Carolina Aquatic Plant
Management Society is seeking applications for its annual Phillip M.
Fields Scholarship Award. The Society intends to award a $3,000
scholarship to the successful applicant in the fall of 2008. Scholarship
funds may be used by the recipient to cover costs associated with
education and research expenses. Eligible applicants must be enrolled as
full time undergraduate or graduate students in an accredited college or
university in the United States. Course work or research in an area
related to the biology, ecology or management of aquatic plants in the
Southeast is also required.
Sara True, NC State and Joshua Cheshier, Mississippi State shared the $3000
prize for the 2007 Phillip M. Fields Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to a
student who is researching an area related to the biology, ecology or
management of aquatic plants in the Southeast.
Applications must be received no
later than May 1, 2009 and will be evaluated on the basis of relevant
test scores (ACT, SAT, GRE, etc.), high school and/or college grades,
quality and relevance of course work or research, a proposed budget,
information obtained from references, and other related considerations.
Other factors being equal, preference will be given to applicants
enrolled in Southeastern and South Carolina academic institutions. The
successful applicant may be requested to present an oral report on
research activities at the annual meeting of the Society. Additionally, Howard B. Roach Student Paper Awards are also given for
papers presented at the SCAPMS annual meeting.
In 2007 we had nine students competing in the annual student paper contest.
All the participants gave excellent presentations on a wide variety of
aquatic plant topics. Congratulation to all the students who
participated this year.
