About Scholarship
The American Fisheries Society is pleased to announce that applications are being accepted for the J Frances Allen Scholarship for a doctoral fisheries student. The scholarship fund was established with the intent of encouraging women to become fisheries professionals. The qualified applicant must be a PhD student conducting aquatic research in line with AFS objectives, which include "all branches of fisheries science, including but not limited to aquatic biology, engineering, fish culture, limnology, oceanography, and sociology." Applicants must also be current AFS members. Applicants must submit their dissertation research narrative. The research proposal should encompass the applicant's entire dissertation research (not a single project/chapter). Three letters of recommendation are also required. One must be from the applicant's major advisor and one must be from an AFS member. Each letter should address (1) the applicant's promise as a fisheries scientist, (2) the potential of the applicant to complete their proposed work and (3) significance of the applicant's proposed research to the advancement of fisheries science. Awardees will be selected on a competitive basis, with an emphasis placed on research promise, scientific merit, and academic achievement. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
