Francis and Evelyn Clark Soil Biology Scholarship

The Francis and Evelyn Clark Soil Biology Scholarship was established to recognize the importance of soil biology and the understanding of soil, plant, and microbial interactions and of nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. The scholarship is supported by a gift from Dr. and Mrs. Francis Clark to the Agronomic Science Foundation and administered by the Soil Science Society of America. The scholarship supports graduate students working in the field of soil biology, biochemistry, or microbial ecology who have demonstrated scholarship and leadership during their graduate studies. Special consideration is given to nominees who demonstrate financial need.
