The Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) is pleased to announce that
applications are now open for the 2023 Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship!

Each year, The Garden Club of America (GCA) and the CPC together award the
Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship to graduate students in biology,
horticulture, or a related field. The purpose of the award is “to promote
conservation of rare and endangered flora in the United States, with
preference given to students whose projects focus on the endangered flora
of the Carolinas and southeastern United States.” The fellowship was
established to honor Catherine H. Beattie who served as a director and
board member of the GCA and served as president from 1981 to 1983. The
first fellowship was given by the Fullerton Foundation in 1983.

Provisions: Provides one annual research grant of up to $4,500, regarded as
compensation for work at a botanical garden by the student, who jointly
serves the program of the Center for Plant Conservation and his/her
curricular studies.

Eligibility: Open to graduate students in biology, botany, ecology,
horticulture, or a related field. Preference is given to students whose
projects focus on a specific rare plant species native to the United
States, with special consideration for the endangered flora of the
Carolinas and southeastern United States. Eligibility is limited to U.S.
Citizens and permanent residents who are enrolled in a U.S.-based
institution.
