Grants and Awards
New Summer Studentship Awards - February 2007 Competition
In February 2007 AHFMR received 384 applications for Summer Studentship awards. The Foundation is pleased to announce that awards will be offered to 196 of these applicants for an overall competition success rate of 51% and a total funding commitment of $1,000,000.
All applications were reviewed independently by three members of the Summer Studentship Advisory Committee. Formal notification of these awards will be communicated in letters that will be sent to the Deans' Offices at the universities during the week of April 2. In cases where there is a disagreement between the published list on the web site and the formal letters, the information in the letter will be considered to be the official decision of the Foundation. Individual letters will also be sent directly to each of the Summer Studentship awardees.
It is the responsibility of the awardee, his/her supervisor, and the sponsoring institute to ensure that all terms and conditions of the Summer Studentship award are respected.
Dr. Kevin Keough, President and CEO of AHFMR, and the Foundation's Board of Trustees wish to congratulate the successful candidates and acknowledge and thank all applicants and their supervisors for their efforts in applying for this award.
