2008 Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship

The Garden Club of America (GCA) and the Center for Plant Conservation 
(CPC) are seeking applicants for the 2008 Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship 
for Conservation Horticulture. The Fellowship is sponsored by the GCA and 
administered by CPC. The Executive Committee of the GCA will award the 
Fellowship in Spring, 2008 upon recommendation by their Scholarship 
Committee and the Science Advisory Council of the CPC.

Each year, the grant enables a graduate student in biology, horticulture, 
or a related field to conduct research on a rare or endangered U.S. plant. 
Preference is given to students focusing on the endangered flora of the 
Carolinas or the southeastern United States. Fellowships may vary from 
$1,000 to $4,000, and will serve as compensation for work done by a 
graduate student.
