College of the Environment Student Meeting Fund

Spring 2015 Quarter Deadline: April 17, 2015

The College of the Environment (CoEnv) supports undergraduate, Masters, and PhD students in furthering their careers, and in particular in connecting students to networking opportunities afforded by the presentation of their original work in meeting venues.  CoEnv supports two types of student attendance at meetings:

  • Individual Travel to Meetings:
    Maximums of $500 for North American travel and $750 for international travel; one per student per degree career; we anticipate making about 15 awards annually. The award amounts are modest to enable CoEnv to provide funding to a greater number of students. Students are expected to seek and receive funding from other sources, and students who do so will receive funding priority.
  • Student-Organized Meetings:
    Maximum of $1,500 or 20% of total expenditures, whichever is smaller; one per organization annually; maximum of 4 awards given out annually.

CLARENCE H. CAMPBELL ENDOWED LAUREN DONALDSON SCHOLARSHIP

This scholarship is made possible by the generosity of Clarence H. Campbell in memory of Lauren “Doc” Donaldson. Professor Lauren “Doc” Donaldson earned his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Washington in 1931.  He served on the faculty of the School of Fisheries from 1932 until his retirement in 1973.  Doc was a world-renowned expert in development of fish stocks, and trained countless students in freshwater fisheries research and management. Clarence Campbell, ’30, established this fund to recognize Doc’s lasting influence.
