Funder: Phycological Society of America
Due Dates (Anticipated): January 2027 (Application) | January 2027 (Recommendation letter)
Funding Amounts: Up to $2,250 per fellowship for tuition, travel, room and board
Summary: Supports students broadening their phycological training through courses at biological field stations.
Key Information: Applicants must be PSA members enrolled in, or formally admitted to, an undergraduate or graduate program.
The Hannah T. Croasdale Fellowships, administered by the Phycological Society of America (PSA), help students broaden their phycological training through courses at biological field stations. The program emphasizes gaining new phycological skills rather than necessarily advancing a particular research project. Proposals to study at field stations associated with universities other than the applicant’s home institution are especially encouraged.
The fellowships are supported by income from the Hannah T. Croasdale Endowment Fund, established in 1987. Selection considers how well the proposed course fits the applicant’s future career and research objectives and how much the applicant could benefit from attending. Support for courses unaffiliated with an academic field station should instead be requested through PSA’s Grants-in-Aid of Research Program.
