Environmental Field Site Program
The Need
The environmental field site independent research fund will support requests for supplemental funding for research supplies beyond those available at the host site. Field site students will submit requests prior to, or within the semester they are participating in a field site. The purpose of the fund is to remove obstacles to conducting high-quality independent research projects. There is also a need to increase funding for environmental field site scholarships to support more students with an interest in the environment who have financial needs. Donations supplement students’ living expenses, including books, supplies, and other expenses associated with living away from campus.
Research or Scholarship Gifts
Research or scholarship gifts can be used immediately to support student research or a student scholarship during the next available application period. These gifts can be made annually at the $5,000+ level over a 5-year period for a minimum total donation of $25,000.
