Description
The Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) offers this competitive research and travel award through its Endowment Awards program, which primarily benefits student and early-career members. Formerly called the General Endowment Awards, it supports work in any area of aquatic science without a designated regional or research-topic focus.
The award brings research, publication, and scientific presentation support into a single opportunity. Funds may support aquatic research itself, publication costs, or travel to the SFS Annual Meeting. Applicants seeking meeting travel support must use it to both attend and present at the meeting.
