Purpose
The award, in the form of a fellowship, is given to assist a student during the summer months (June-September) in the pursuit of work in a field of interest to The Electrochemical Society.
The Award
The award shall be known as the Summer Fellowship of The Electrochemical Society. The award will consist of a check for $4,000 for the summer months of study. The naming of each fellowship shall be as follows. If one award is given during a year, it shall be called the Edward G. Weston Fellowship Award of The Electrochemical Society. If two awards are given, the second one shall be designated the Colin Garfield Fink Fellowship Award of The Electrochemical Society. If more than two awards are given, the third award shall be called the Joseph W. Richards Fellowship Award of The Electrochemical Society. If more than three awards are given, the fourth
shall be called the F. M. Becket Fellowship Award of The Electrochemical Society.The awards will be funded by The Electrochemical Consolidated Fellowship Fund.
Candidates Qualifications
The award shall be made without regard to sex, citizenship, race or financial need. It shall be made to a graduate student pursuing work between the degrees of B.S. and Ph. D. in a college or university, and who will continue his or her studies after the summer period. A previous holder of the award is eligible for reappointment. Qualifications shall not be waived in case no candidate qualifies for the award within any one calendar year; instead, the funds normally allotted shall then be added to the investment capital for the awards. It is intended that the recipient should feel he or she is uniquely an ECS Summer Fellow during the period of his or her fellowship; to this end, he or she is required to not hold other named fellowships.
