The Alfred L. Borgatti Biology Scholarship


The Alfred L. Borgatti Biology Scholarship

2010 awarded amount of $775.00


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.  To be considered, a student must meet the minimal academic qualifications:

Ø  At least a sophomore standing (45 credits), with at least 20 credits of major courses completed at Salem State College (as defined on the biology flow sheets).
Ø  If a transfer student, then at least 15 credits of major courses completed at Salem State College (as defined on the biology flow sheets).
