Sally Clark Award
Are you a woman currently enrolled in the M.A. program in Geography at Hunter College? Could you use a $500 research grant to help fund your thesis? If so, the Sally Clark Award may be what you've been looking for. The award, offered through The Society of Women Geographers, honors the explorer and sculptor Sally Clark, a prominent member of the SWG, who traveled widely throughout Africa and the Americas in the 1920s and 1930s. This award was created to further Ms. Clark's interest in women's education and to enhance the SWG's fellowship program by supporting the "quest for new knowledge and the imagination and initiative to seek it." Each year the award is given to a woman in the department's M.A. program who is working on her thesis. The grant may not be used for personal living expenses, but to improve or enhance thesis research. The grant money might pay for a research assistant, or for a side visit related to the research topic, or computer software, etc.

To apply you must (1) be a female student actively enrolled in the M.A. program in Geography at Hunter College; (2) prepare a draft budget to show how the money is to be spent (usually within a short period of time after the grant is awarded); and (3) upon publication of your thesis, prepare a written report on how the grant money was spent and how it enhanced your research. The winner of the award will be chosen based on past scholarship and the potential scholarly and social value of the graduate thesis.

If you would like to apply for the Sally Clark Award, please prepare a brief statement describing your thesis and goals and a draft budget and submit it to the department office no later than 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. You may submit your application either via email or in person. The winner will be announced on Friday, November 16, 2007 at the department's annual dinner in recognition of Geography Awareness Week.
