The Kansas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society is
accepting applications for two scholarships to Kansas college students in
fields of fisheries biology or aquatic sciences. We hope that you and others in your department
will encourage students to apply for these honors, and to become involved with
our chapter.
In 2017, the Chapter will offer the Otto Tiemeier-Frank
Cross Student Scholarship to a deserving graduate student and the Klaassen
Award to a deserving undergraduate student.
Each will be a $300 scholarship, and the Chapter will pay expenses for
the recipients to attend our annual meeting.
Applications for these awards should be submitted to the
scholarship committee chair by January 14, 2017. A one-page statement of achievements,
aspirations, and goals should be written by the student. The student should also solicit a one-page
letter of reference from a major professor, or instructor who is familiar with
the student. This letter should detail
the student's qualifications, and should also be submitted by January 14, 2017 (either
accompanying the student's application, or under separate cover). Both the student's application and the
reference should include the student's full name, address, telephone number,
and college affiliation. Award recipients will be notified prior to the Kansas Chapter
business meeting held January 26-27, 2017 during the Kansas
Natural resources Conference in Wichita, Kansas.
Applications will be accepted via email. Please post email applications with subject
line “Kansas Chapter AFS Scholarship”.
Multiple applications from any institution are encouraged
for these awards. Thus we urge you to
distribute this information to qualified students in your institution. If you
have questions or comments, please contact the committee chair or any officer
of the Kansas Chapter.
Thank you for your participation, and support for these
important awards.
Sincerely,
Sean Lynott
