Scholarship Description
Jessup Funds are awarded competitively to students wishing to conduct studies at the postgraduate, doctoral and postdoctoral levels under the supervision or sponsorship of a member of the curatorial staff of the Academy. The Awards are not available for undergraduate study. Such studies can be in any specialty in which these curators have expertise. The McHenry Fund is similarly intended but is restricted to botanists. Please note that the awards are restricted to those who wish to conduct their study here at the academy. These awards are intended to assist predoctoral and postdoctoral students within several years of receiving their Ph.D’s. Students commuting within the Philadelphia area are ineligible. A Jessup-McHenry student is expected to give a seminar after his or her arrival, and is encouraged to publish at least some of his/her qork accomplished at the Academy. Round-trip travel costs up to a total of $500 for North American (including Mexico and the Carribean) applicants, and $1,000 for applicants from other parts of the world, are allowed. The stipend for subsistence is $250 per week. Minimum duration of an award is two weeks; the maximum is sixteen weeks. Provision of scientific supplies and equipment is the responsibility of the sponsoring curator and the student.
