Two scholarships are designated specifically for master's level students who are pursuing terminal master's degrees or pre-doctoral study in applied gerontology, i.e., in areas such as social work, nursing, or administration.
Scholarship funds are to be allocated for tuition, fees, and books.
Fellowship funds are to be allocated to tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. Awardees may use a portion of the awards for travel, i.e., one round-trip to attend a professional gerontological conference. The academic institution in which the student is studying gerontology must be accredited and located in the United States. If no formal credential in gerontology is offered at the doctoral level, the student must have an approved doctoral prospectus that relates to the field of aging. Two of the five scholarships available are specifically designated for students who are pursuing a terminal master's degree or doing pre-doctoral work in an area of applied gerontology, such as social work, nursing, or administration.
