2011 William R. Walker Graduate Research Fellow Award
Announcement and Application
Graduate students from all Virginia’s colleges/universities are invited to submit an application to the Virginia Water Resources Research Center for the 2011 William R. Walker Graduate Research Fellow Award.
The Water Center has offered the Walker Award since 1999. The award of up to $2,500 is intended for individuals preparing for a professional career in water resources. Only individuals pursuing graduate work in a field different from the field of emphasis as an undergraduate, or individuals with work experience returning to graduate school are eligible to apply.
A special panel will select the award recipient. The award can be used at the recipient’s discretion, during enrollment at a university as a student, for professional development (such as attending workshops and conferences) and purchasing materials that will enhance professional productivity (books, software, hardware, etc).
