Description

The Libbie H. Hyman Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Libbie H. Hyman, one of America's foremost invertebrate zoologists. The scholarship provides assistance to students to take courses or to pursue research on invertebrates at a marine, freshwater, or terrestrial field station. This scholarship is intended to help support a first meaningful field-station experience for a first- or second-year graduate student, or an advanced undergraduate. Awards are limited to students currently enrolled in degree programs; priority will be given to advanced undergraduates or early graduate students. Previous recipients of this scholarship are not eligible unless they encountered exceptional circumstances regarding the use of their award and the scholarship committee chair has specifically approved their re-eligibility. Applicants do not need to be members of SICB. Funds must be used to support coursework or research on invertebrates at a field station. Priority will be given to projects that represent the first significant field station experience for a student. Applicants are encouraged to address in their materials how their proposed project would work towards this goal. Complete applications consist of a proposal, two letters of reference from faculty members, and copies of undergraduate and (if applicable) graduate transcripts. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
