Supplemental Scholarship Program

The Supplemental Scholarship program is designed to enrich the graduate experience. It is paid directly to the student and is not intended to be part of a student stipend. Initiated in 2014, when three scholarships were awarded this program continues today. Please see our past award recipients below. Appropriate expenditures could include (but not be limited to) travel to toxicology or agromedicine meetings, acquisition of books or payment of student membership to related societies when not available from home institution.
