The LAGS award is open to students at area universities, but typically few apply. More information about Eileen Johansen and the ongoing fundraising for this newly endowed scholarship is provided at the end of this section. The fund is earmarked for graduate and undergraduate students who demonstrate academic excellence in geography. It has three components. The fellowships are renewable for up to three additional years based on the student's academic progress and standing.
Students can apply to renew the award for a second year.
The awards are to be used for travel and research experiences. I would appreciate if you would pass this along to prospective students. This scholarship was established to honor the memory of Dr. Burton Anderson, Professor in our department from 1956-1994. Undergraduate students continuing their studies in our department during the fall semester of 2000. This scholarship of several hundred dollars to one or two students will be awarded.
