MCGINNIES GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP

IN ARID LANDS STUDIES

 

A Graduate Scholarship in Arid Lands Studies was established in 1985 by the
faculty of the Office of Arid Lands Studies, University of Arizona, in honor
of Dr. William G. McGinnies, our founder. The intent of the McGinnies
Graduate Scholarship is to provide additional support to graduate students
whose dissertation research concerns physical and biological processes in
the world's arid and semiarid lands. The annual scholarship award is $2,500
and is celebrated with a luncheon at the historic Arizona Inn.

 

Eligibility: Any University of Arizona doctoral student is eligible. All
recipients must be approved by the Office of Student Financial Aid.

 

Selection Criteria: Award is made on the basis of materials submitted by
applicants, which (1) indicates their achievements and future as scholars,
and (2) demonstrates significant contribution of ongoing research to
understanding environmental processes and informing management of arid and
semiarid lands.

 

Application: Applications should consist of (1) a letter of application of
no more than 1000 words describing the student's research interests, their
achievements to-date, and a concise description of their dissertation
research and its broader relevance; (2) a curriculum vitae; and (3) two
letters of recommendation (including one from the major advisor). It is the
responsibility of the applicant to ensure that letters are received before
the application deadline. For a list of previous recipients, including their
dissertation topics, subsequent careers, and current whereabouts, visit

Deadline: Review of applications for the 2011 awards will begin on December
1, 2011.
