Since 2001, NEMF has awarded Homola Scholarships to applicants interested in furthering their study of fungi through foray attendance. NEMF has a limited number of scholarships available for attendees of the annual foray. To apply, please read the below guidelines.
The application for a scholarship to attend the annual NEMF is principally comprised of a letter to the Scholarship Committee that includes the following four points:
1) Your background and training (if any) in Mycology
2) Your current research and/or activities in the field of Mycology, including club affiliations and years of experience
3) Any particular branch of Mycology in which you wish to specialize in the future, and lastly
4) Why you think you are an exceptional candidate deserving of such an award
The award covers your tuition at the four-day conference but not your travel to and from. Your letter of application is due by May 31 during the year of the foray.
