The William L. Wilson Scholarship in Karst Science
Administered by the Karst Waters Institute
www.karstwaters.orghttp://www.karstwaters.org
The William L. Wilson Scholarship in Karst Science was established in 2002 to
recognize the significant karst science contributions of the late William
(Bill) L. Wilson. Bill Wilson used a variety of techniques, and unusual
creativity, to tackle some of the most difficult karst science questions in
Florida and elsewhere. He developed a leading karst consulting company in the
United States, Subsurface Evaluations, Incorporated. To stimulate the
development of new, energetic, motivated, and creative karst scientists, and to
remember Bill Wilson and his dedication to karst science, the scholarship has
been established in his memory. The value of the scholarship as a one-time
award is $1,000.
To apply for the William L. Wilson Scholarship, the following conditions exist:
1) The applicant must be currently enrolled in, or have been accepted
into, a master's degree program at an institution of higher education in the
United States. PhD students are not eligible.
2) A written proposal of the planned karst study must be submitted. It is
limited to 1000 words or less for the narrative, not counting figure captions
and references. The research topic should be one concerning karst science,
from the field of geochemistry, geology or hydrology. A very simple budget
indicating how the funds would be used should also be included (it does not
count in the 1000 word limit). Applicants are requested to not recycle
master's thesis proposals as applications.
3) Academic transcripts of undergraduate, and any graduate work, should be
submitted. Copies issued to the student by their institution are preferred.
4) Two letters of recommendation, with one of them from the student's
advisor or mentor, should be submitted. It is requested that these letters be
emailed directly to jbmar...@ufl.edumailto:jbmar...@ufl.edu by the letter
writers.
5) Applications are due by February 2, 2015. They should be submitted
electronically as a single pdf file that includes the proposal, budget, and all
transcripts to:
