The Department of Integrative Biology would like to congratulate our student awardees for the 2021 Spring Smilodon Outstanding Underclassman/Upperclassman Awards, Integrative Biology Outstanding Student Awards and Dissemination/Travel Grants.
SMILODON OUTSTANDING UNDERCLASSMAN & UPPERCLASSMAN AWARDS:
The Smilodon Outstanding Scholar Endowment was established by a generous anonymous donation to support graduate and undergraduate scholarships in the Department of Integrative Biology. Preference is for students with an interest in a career or graduate degree in biology and recognizing outstanding undergraduate and graduate scholars in the Department. Currently, the awards are given to these outstanding students each Fall and Spring semester. Students are nominated for the award by faculty, staff and fellow students for their scholarly achievements, ethics, and contributions to the Department.
To give to the Smilodon Fund please go to giving.cu and in the write-in fund section paste “Smilodon Biology Scholarship fund, allocation number 0350146” in the comments box.
