Are you interested in conducting research at a marine, freshwater, or terrestrial field station? You might be eligible for the Libbie H. Hyman Memorial Scholarship for Courses and Research at a Field Station if you are. This scholarship is available to advance undergraduate students and first or second-year graduate students who want to study invertebrates at field stations in marine, freshwater, or terrestrial environments. The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology sponsors this scholarship to promote research, education, public awareness, and understanding of living organisms, from cells and molecules to ecology and evolution. The scholarship is named in honor of Libbie H. Hyman, a leading American invertebrate zoologist and author of A Laboratory Manual for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. This scholarship provides funding for the selected applicants’ first significant in-person field station experiences to support the next generation of zoologists. The scholarship allows students to integrate classroom and field study in a one-year course of advanced coursework. The recipient will complete a 1,750-word essay describing the research they want to pursue at the field station. This essay must also be accompanied by a three-page resume, a 500-word letter of recommendation from an instructor/clinician in zoology/biology, and a 500-word letter of recommendation from their advisor.
