Lylian Brucefield Reynolds Scholarship

 

Purpose: This award is given to graduate students in residence (spending at least half time) at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, in recognition of research excellence and promise.
Amount: The amount to be awarded for 2012-2013 is $1,000, paid in three equal term installments, beginning in the Fall 2012 term.
Criteria: This is generally viewed as a capstone award for students in the second half of their graduate term at HMSC, and students are eligible for the award only one time. The primary criteria by which applications will be evaluated are excellence in academic and research performance, and scientific merit of proposed research. Service activity (to OSU, HMSC, the department, profession or community) will also be given secondary consideration.
