Philip White Memorial Award
GUIDELINES FOR COMMITTEE

• The Philip White Memorial Award is a study award made in honor of Dr. Philip R. White, an eminent pioneer, teacher and researcher in plant cell and tissue culture techniques.
• The fund is to be used to supplement expenses for a student to further study plant tissue culture by acquiring specialized training in a plant-tissue-culture related technique not available at his/her home institution, by traveling to another laboratory. A stipend of up to $650 is awarded yearly for travel to, and training at, an institution of the awardee's choice. It should not be used to supplement living expenses at a home institution.
• The award can be used to supplement other awards or scholarships, provided such other awards are not total payment for training.
• It must be used for direct training in a technique that involves plant tissue culture.
• Applicants for the award must substantiate that the training will extend their ability to perform research and/or development in a field which requires plant tissue culture. Applicants must be able to demonstrate interest and scholastic achievement,.
• Please note that this is not restricted to U.S. residents.

  Applicants need to provide via email:

  • A statement of objectives and past training
    
  • Type of training they will receive and where
    
  • A letter from the volunteer trainer indicating that they will agree to train the person in specific tissue culture techniques at a specific site and a specific time period
    
  • A list of funds needed for travel to the training site (airfare, hotels, meals, etc.)
    
  • Letters of recommendation from two sources who are familiar with the applicants prior training and can substantiate that the applicant is a student
