Foundation Scholarships

Fish, Kurt & Karen Biology Research

This is a research scholarship which provides an annual award to an outstanding biology student studying and conducting undergraduate research in the area of ecology and environment. The recipient must be an excellent student academically, as well as in the research area. The recipient must be engaged in a research project or planning on working on an undergraduate research project.

Application materials can be found online at the Department of Biology Scholarship website at www.uwec.edu/biology/mainpage/Scholarships.htm

Scholarship recipients will be selected by the Department of Biology Scholarship Committee, which has faculty representation from the major subdisciplines of biology. Applications will be evaluated both in terms of their academic merit and their compatibility with award eligibility criteria.

The Chair of the Department of Biology will send an award letter to the recipient, with a copy sent to Kurt and Karen Fish. The Chair will complete and submit a “Scholarship Award Form” to the Financial Aid office.

The recipient should send a thank-you note to Karen and Kurt Fish in care of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation, Schofield Hall room 214. Kurt and Karen Fish would like a summary of the recipient’s research work or project at the end of the academic year.
