The Norman S. Baldwin Fishery Science scholarship is intended to promote academic excellence by encouraging young scientists to undertake graduate research in fishery biology and to enter the field of Great Lakes science. The scholarship is awarded annually to promising M.Sc. or Ph.D. students whose research is likely to make a significant contribution to the understanding of Great Lakes fishery science. In addition to their name, contact information, IAGLR member status, affiliation, and education, applicants must be prepared to submit the following: brief title and extended abstract of their research; statement of relevance of the research to fishery science; current curriculum vitae; transcripts; and name, affiliation, and email of person providing the letter of endorsement.
