The AACT Jean Lu Student Scholarship Award was established with an initial generous gift from Dr. Frank C. Lu, a Charter member of the SOT, in memory of his wife, Jean Lu. The fund was created to provide a lump sum scholarship each year to a Chinese student (having been born in China or, if born in the United States, having one or more parents of Chinese descent), who is interested in graduate training in toxicology. This award shall be given to SOT graduate student members (current or pending) engaged in graduate study towards a PhD in toxicology who has demonstrated academic achievement in the field of toxicology and has provided leadership and service in their chosen field and/or community. Applicants for the award are not precluded from applying for travel support or other SOT awards. The Award Committee's evaluation is based exclusively on scholastic achievement, demonstration of leadership, relevance of thesis to toxicology, and letters of recommendation. Finalists may be interviewed by phone prior to selection of the award winner. Nominees who are not yet AACT members are strongly encouraged to join AACT. Applicants must submit a narrative describing their research hypothesis, background, and significance. A letter of support from sponsor and a second letter of support, one of which should be written by a member of SOT, must also be submitted. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
