[QSB-grads] Fwd: FW: Central Valley Fellowship Call

[Miriam Barlow]

Dear QSB faculty and students,
There is an exciting funding opportunity for students who went to High
School in the Central Valley and who are doing Valley focused research.
The announcement is below.
Faculty, please nominate your eligible students by submitting a nomination
paragraph and a CV for your student bu JULY 24 to Kara McCloskey (cc'd).  I
am no longer QSB chair and only helping with this because we are still in
transition with Kara's incoming appointment.

Please be mindful that your nominating paragraph will be used by Kara to
choose two nominees AND by the award committee AND Marjorie.  Please write
it in an appropriate format for these three reviews.  My suggestion would
be to keep it succinct but long enough to outline the key reasons that your
student is an eligible and ideal candidate for the award.  6-10 sentences
is usually an effective length for grad student award nominations.

Cheers!
Miriam
(Non-administrative faculty member)

Dear outgoing and incoming graduate group chairs,

With apologies for the quick turn around and doing this in summer and
knowing that two graduate groups don’t have new chairs yet, we have a new
fellowship—the Central Valley Graduate Fellowship—which will provide a
one-semester fellowship for a graduate student from the Central Valley who
is doing research relevant to the Central Valley. We can give out one
fellowship for fall and one for spring. I am anxious to do this right away
because we want to try to get additional donations to this fund from
individuals and foundations, and that requires being able to show off who
the first couple of recipients are. Hence the urgency. Please nominate up
to two students by July 29—see attached for details, but basically they
must have advanced to candidacy, be from the Central Valley and be doing
work that benefits the Valley. Thanks for helping me in my efforts to get
more funding for our students!
Marjorie
