Scholarship deadline gets seven-day extension
The application deadline has been extended to Friday, Sept. 29, for scholarships provided by a USDA grant to further undergraduate research in biotechnology and biodiversity. SAES juniors and seniors with overall GPAs of 3.0 and grad students with overall GPAs of 3.5 may be eligible for scholarship awards - for the current semester - from $500 to $800 for undergraduates, and $800 to $1,200 for grad students. The selection committee is looking for students whose course work and career goals reflect an ongoing interest in some facet of biotechnology, including issues of ethical and sociological importance. Scholarship recipients will be required to conduct an independent research project supervised by a faculty mentor.
