Lohry Fellowship Nomination Form

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES

University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The Lohry Fellowship is available to M.S. or M.A.S. graduate students currently enrolled full-time in a College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources online program. The Lohry Fellowship is a one time $1000 award based on academic and scholastic achievement or promise and cannot be associated with any service requirement. Nominations should include non-traditional students who otherwise would not be considered for fellowships.

Guidelines

The nomination must show generally high scholastic and career potential evidence, and a current degree GPA of 3.5 or greater and an excellent letter of support from their academic or other advisor familiar with the student.

Multiple submissions from a department should be prioritized by the Unit Graduate Committee and endorsed by the Unit Head/Chair/Director.

Nominations should be filled out by the student's advisor or faculty member familiar with the student's academic performance.
The Chairperson of the Unit Graduate Committee will review the nomination along with the appropriate supporting data, rank the nominations (if more than one) and submit to the Department Head.
Once approved by the Graduate Committee and the Unit Head/Chair/Director, the nomination packet will be forwarded to the CASNR Graduate Fellowship Selection Committee.
If the nomination is declined, email notifications will be sent to the Proposer and/or Unit Graduate Committee.

The stipend will be credited to the student’s MyRed account; if the student has already paid her/his tuition and fees, the student will get a refund.

CALENDAR: Applications will be accepted after the start of the semester (following the 6-day census), or during the semester until awarded.

Supporting Materials: A resume, transcripts and one supporting letter from the advisor are required for each nominee. Include any other supporting materials and nominations the unit would like to provide.
