The College of Science and Engineering (COSE) awarded four scholarships
for the Fall '99 term. The Scholarship committee headed by Dean Kelley
reviewed a total of 32 applicants. Since the quality of the applicants
was all outstanding, the selection process was very difficult. The committee
wished more financial resources were available all of the outstanding students.
The
Graduate COSE
Advisory Board Scholarships of $2,500 each were awarded to Constance
Ganong (Systematic Biology & Ecology) and Christa Speekmann (Marine
Biology). The Undergraduate David
G.C. Cassa Memorial Scholarship of $500 was awarded to Gina Perez-Baron
(Cell & Molecular Biology). The Undergraduate Biology, Kenneth
& Pam Fong Scholarship of $250 was awarded to Jennifer Agard (Cell
& Molecular Biology).
The COSE Advancement Office has established a new Student
Project Fund. Funds will reimburse students up to $500 for their
projects, research, fieldwork, graduate and undergraduate thesis work.
The Student Project Fund was established through generous donations of
the College alumni and friends. The allocation for the Fund for each semester
is between $4,000 to $5,000. Fifteen proposals totaling $16,000 were submitted.
Dean Kelley and Associate Dean of Development Abo-El-Ata awarded all fifteen
proposals, modifying the award amounts to total $4,800. Individual awards
were given $300 and team awards were given $500.
In order for us to expand these programs, we need your support and generous
donations. If you would like to donate or get more information, feel free
