AACT Jean Lu Student Scholarship Award

Eligibility

AACT Jean Lu Student Scholarship Award, with an application deadline in January, offers 2 awards of $500 each. Ethnicity requirements apply.

Description

The Jean Lu Student Scholarship Award Fund was established with an initial generous gift from Dr. Frank C. Lu, a Charter member of the SOT, in memory of his wife, Jean Lu. The fund was created to provide a lump sum scholarship each year to a Chinese student (having been born in China or, if born in the United States, having one or more parents of Chinese descent), who is interested in graduate training in toxicology. This award shall be given to SOT graduate student members (current or pending) engaged in graduate study towards a PhD in toxicology who has demonstrated academic achievement in the field of toxicology and has provided leadership and service in his/her chosen field and/or community. Applicants must submit a research narrative describing research hypothesis, background, and significance and a letter of support from the sponsor and a second letter of support. One of the letters of support should be written by a member of SOT. Finalists may be interviewed by phone prior to selection of the award winner. Nominees who are not yet AACT members are strongly encouraged to join AACT. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
