The Garden Club of America Award in Coastal Wetlands Studies provides funding to graduate students to support field-based wetlands research. A student may propose a wetlands program of his/her choice at a leading educational institution within the United States that specializes in wetlands studies. Eligibility is open to graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in coastal wetlands science who are U.S. Citizens and permanent residents enrolled in a U.S.-based institution. There is a preference for students who are early in their degree programs. Applicants must submit a curriculum vitae and a letter of endorsement from their major Professor/Advisor. They must also submit parts 2-4 of the online application by email as a word document or PDF via email.
