This award is endowed with a donation from the family of
Alfred L. Borgatti. Dr. Borgatti, a long
time member of the Biology faculty, was an ardent supporter of student
scholarship in the Natural Sciences.
Each year, a Biology major will be awarded fund s to support student
scholarship.
This fund was established for the purpose of supporting the
scholarship of undergraduate majors in Biology and promoting student interest
to continuing a career in Biology. This
award is restricted to covering the costs of student research projects and/or
participation in professional organizations. The Award will be announced at the
end of the Spring semester so that the Award can be used during the next
year. The Award can be used in a single
semester or spread out over two semesters.
The annual award will be awarded according to the following principles
and guidelines.
The Alfred L. Borgatti Biology Award
shall be used for:
Ø Conference expenses
Ø Research Costs
From the pool of students who meet the minimal academic
qualifications (listed below), the award will go to the student who has
demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the study of Biology. The application should include information
that shows strong interest in their major subjects. In the event of equally qualified applicants,
the student with the greatest demonstrated financial need shall receive the
award. This does not preclude splitting
the award between two very deserving students.
