Thank you, George ------------------------- The William L. Wilson Scholarship in Karst Science Administered by the Karst Waters Institute www.karstwaters.org<http://www.karstwaters.org> The William L. Wilson Scholarship in Karst Science was established in 2002 to recognize the significant karst science contributions of the late William (Bill) L. Wilson. Bill Wilson used a variety of techniques, and unusual creativity, to tackle some of the most difficult karst science questions in Florida and elsewhere. He developed a leading karst consulting company in the United States, Subsurface Evaluations, Incorporated. To stimulate the development of new, energetic, motivated, and creative karst scientists, and to remember Bill Wilson and his dedication to karst science, the scholarship has been established in his memory. The value of the scholarship as a one-time award is $1,000. To apply for the William L. Wilson Scholarship, the following conditions exist: 1) The applicant must be currently enrolled in, or have been accepted into, a master's degree program at an institution of higher education in the United States. PhD students are not eligible. 2) A written proposal of the planned karst study must be submitted. It is limited to 1000 words or less for the narrative, not counting figure captions and references. The research topic should be one concerning karst science, from the field of geochemistry, geology or hydrology. A very simple budget indicating how the funds would be used should also be included (it does not count in the 1000 word limit).
