Each year The Society for Northwestern Vertebrate Biology (SNVB) provides one scholarship of up to $1000 to an undergraduate or graduate student conducting vertebrate research within the geographic scope of the society: northwestern North America west of the Great Plains and north of the Mojave Desert to the Beaufort Sea.
Scholarships are intended to support expenses associated with the proposed research project including but not limited to travel, equipment, and supplies. Students must be enrolled in an accredited institution within SNVB's geographic scope (see above), degree seeking, and a member of SNVB. Applicants may become a member at the time of application. Membership benefits include reduced conference registration fees and our tri-annual journal, Northwestern Naturalist. The recipient will be announced at the society’s annual meeting in Coeur d'Alene, ID (http://thesnvb.org/annual-meeting-2016/). Recipients are expected to either present their findings at an SNVB annual meeting or submit a manuscript for publication in the society’s journal, Northwestern Naturalist, within three years of receiving the scholarship. Registration or page fees may be waived if other funding or institutional support is not available. Applications are due on January 15th. http://thesnvb.org/scholarship-guidelines/ Tara Chestnut, PhD Ecologist Mount Rainier National Park Ashford, WA 360-569-6771 [email protected]
