Student Research Scholarship

Spring 2024

VAWP is pleased to announce that we are accepting scholarship applications from undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Virginia institutions. Through this award, VAWP will provide a $1,000 scholarship to an outstanding student pursuing research focused on wetland science, natural resources, or related environmental science fields. The student’s research should demonstrate a specific interest in advancing the mission and ideals of the VAWP. Scholarships will be paid directly to the selected applicant. Please see the attached announcement and application for details. Application materials must be submitted electronically to Eli Wright, VAWP Education Committee Member (ewright@drambyenv.com) by Friday, May 17, 2024.

In keeping with VAWP’s mission of research and education, the recipients of this award provide a commitment to present their findings of your research at a future VAWP event. We look forward to hearing more about these projects in the future! All of us at VAWP would thank applicants for their commitment to expanding our knowledge of wetland science and we wish them continued success throughout your academic career and on.
