Applications are solicited for grants to be awarded from the Helen and Frederick Gaige Fund Awards. These funds are used to provide support to student herpetologists for museum or laboratory study, travel, fieldwork, or any other activity that will effectively enhance their professional careers by contributing to the science of herpetology. Applicants must be enrolled in an advanced degree program. Because of limited funds, previous awardees requesting additional funding for the same or a similar project will be given lower priority than students who have not received Gaige funds. Two letters of recommendation from persons familiar with the applicant and their research must be solicited by the applicant. One of these letters should be from the current major professor. Both letters should be from reputable scientists, preferably herpetologists. Please visit the award's website for more information about the grant and the required materials that should be submitted.
