The Cave Conservancy Foundation is sponsoring an annual competition for a $15,000 graduate fellowship in karst studies. The fellowship, designed to foster graduate research, will be awarded to a master's or doctoral student who is working on a thesis or dissertation in some aspect of karst.
The work can be in any of the sciences or other disciplines
that in someway has a relationship with
karst terrain, karst processes, caves, etc. Competition will not
be limited to the classic sciences such as
archaeology, biology, geology and hydrology but may include
environmental studies ecology, conservation, civil engineering,
pollution, restoration, water quality and other social issues
resulting from karst processes. An applicant must be fulltime
graduate student at a US college or university. Applications must
include a thesis proposal, graduate transcripts, and two letters
of recommendation, one being from the thesis advisor.
Applications are due by June 1. Awards will be announced by July
15.
