Indigenous Student Scholarship
Diversity in the sciences is an important component to ensure that all voices and perspectives are represented. Indigenous Student Scholarships will be awarded based on a short essay (300-500 words). Indigenous Scholarships are for participating (i.e. giving a poster or presentation) or non-participating students who are interested in attending the conference. These scholarships will assist with registration and lodging expenses. Indigenous students will need to be a member of a tribal nation and be enrolled as a full or part-time student at an accredited college or university in the United States.
INDIGENOUS STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY QUESTION: Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is knowledge, know-how, skills and practices that are developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation within a community, often forming part of its cultural or spiritual identity. How is TEK relevant in scientific study as a collaborative concept?
