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.
