Description
The Boesel-Sanderson Fund is part of the Society for Freshwater Science’s competitive Endowment Research and Travel Awards. Established in recognition of Marion Waterman Boesel and Milton W. Sanderson, it supports students conducting research on the natural history of organisms.
The fund helps students carry out and share their research by supporting research expenses, publication costs, or travel to the SFS Annual Meeting. Travel support is specifically for attending and presenting at that meeting, rather than travel for other purposes. The award sits within SFS’s broader program of support for research and travel.
