Evan Frankel Foundation Scholarships
for Marine Science

The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences is pleased to announce the Spring 2008 competition for Evan Frankel Memorial Scholarships to undergraduate students. These scholarships are available to outstanding Stony Brook University undergraduate students majoring in marine science or marine science vertebrate and are up to $4,000 in value. Scholarships may be used to participate in marine science extracurricular activity which places a financial burden on students beyond normal costs of their undergraduate education. Spring scholarships support activities that take place over the Summer or during the Fall semester. Examples include participating in an organized Summer research, internship experience or a travel class or conducting independent research with Stony Brook faculty or scientist at other institutions. Students must have a GPA above a 3.0 to be considered for this scholarship.

To be considered, please submit the following:

  • A ~2 page essay describing what you would like to do with the award money and why this award would enhance your Stony Brook University education. You should also discuss why you are interested in marine science, what you hope to study during your experience, and why participating in this experience will benefit your long term career plans. Details and quality of writing are both important for these essays.
  • Transcripts from all undergraduate schools attended besides Stony Brook University (unofficial is OK).
  • Three letters of recommendation with at least one from a faculty member.
  • A one page resume highlighting out-of-classroom academic experiences, particularly in marine science
  • An approximate budget of how you would use the money, item by item (e.g. tuition, stipend, housing, travel, supplies).

Letters should be signed and sent to:

Christopher J. Gobler, PhD
Associate Professor
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences
Stony Brook University
Stony Brook, NY 11794-5000

All materials must be received in my campus mailbox by 21 April 2008.
