The top
scholarship in the Ecology and Environmental Sciences Program is the
John F. Boyle Environmental Prize. This
award was endowed by the generous gifts from the family of John F.
Boyle and gifts from faculty and graduates from the program.
The scholarship recognizes the top graduating Senior in the EES Program.
Those wishing to
contribute to the scholarship endowment should direct checks to the
University of Maine Foundation with a
letter specifying the Boyle Prize endowment.
In 2004 the faculty in
the Department of Plant, Soil, and Environmental Sciences generously
funded three EES Merit Awards. These Scholarships
were awarded to Lauren Leclerc of Charlestown, New Hampshire;
Julia McGuire of Augusta, Maine; and Brooke Halgren,
of Devils Lake, North Dakota.
We
are very proud of Brooke Halgren who was awarded a Morris K.
Udall
Scholarship Honorable Mention for 2004.
In addition, students
in the program are eligible for hundreds of thousands of dollars in
both need-based and merit scholarships offered annually by the
College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture. Students
wishing apply for these awards should complete the
college scholarship application by March 1 of each academic
year.
