Eligibility

Loeblich and Tappan Student Research Grant, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards of $3000 each.

Description

The Loeblich and Tappan Student Research Grant was established in 2004 in memory of Alfred R. Loeblich, Jr. and Helen Tappan. The grant supports undergraduate and graduate student research on any aspect of living or fossil foraminifera or other protists, such as diatoms, coccolithophorids, dinoflagellates, acritarchs, or radiolaria. Research on geochemistry using microfossils only as geochemical indicators is not funded; however, geochemistry that relates to any aspect of living or fossil foraminifera is fundable and should be explained. Current students with developed research projects in these areas are encouraged to apply for support. Applicants must be Cushman Foundation members at the time of application. A letter of support from the student's faculty advisor is also required. Previous awardees must include a short summary of research completed with the award. Please visit the scholarship's website and contact the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research for more information.
