[Kelly Rourke]

Dear Friends, Professors and Researchers,



Please distribute, share, and post this exciting and unique honey bee
research fellowship award opportunity:



*2019 USA PAm-Costco Scholar Fellowship Awards for Honey Bee Health *



*Application Deadline May 6, 2019 at 11:59pm EST*



*Scholarship*: In 2013 Costco and Project *Apis m. *(PAm) launched the
first PAm-Costco Scholar Fellowship Program. Costco has an admirable commitment
to sustainability <https://www.costco.com/sustainability-introduction.html>,
and is a champion supporter of honey bee research, recognizing it as an
investment to ensure an ethical and sustainable food supply.



Investing in research that has real and practical impacts on the
sustainability of honey bee health, honey production and crop production is
the foundation of the PAm-Costco partnership. Sustainability is often
defined in terms of resource management, but another component of
sustainability is developing intellectual expertise by supporting those who
will help solve problems in the future: tomorrow's bee scientists. The
students who receive this PhD Fellowship award bring new energy, ideas, and
expertise to the fold of scientists pushing the edges of bee health
research across the globe. This award is an investment in the next
generation of leaders to innovate and support beekeepers and pollinators.

The PAm-Costco Scholar Fellowship Program
<https://www.projectapism.org/pam-costco-scholars.html> in the USA and
Canada has awarded over $550,000 to impressive up-and-coming bee
researchers who are committed to a better future for bees. These scholars
have already made significant contributions and important discoveries
through their research, been recognized with awards of merit, published
peer-reviewed academic articles, and continue with dedication to solve the
mysteries and challenges that bees and beekeepers face. The PAm-Costco
Scholar Fellowship Program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate
students to pursue research-based doctoral degrees in fields within the
Project Apis m. mission of enhancing honey bee health while improving crop
production.

*Program:* Open to candidates within a Ph.D. program in any Agriculture,
Apiculture or Entomology department in the United States. The PAm-Costco
Scholar will be involved in a clearly identifiable and defined honey bee
health issue.

*Qualifications:* Candidates must have a Bachelors or Masters degree in a
science or agriculture-related field. It is preferable the candidate have
some working experience with bees, and published papers in apiculture. The
individual must demonstrate potential for significant achievements in honey
bee health science and research, and a commitment to working in the field
of honey bee research after completing graduate work.

*Financial Support:*

Up to three years continuous support for graduate education and research
will be provided in annual increments up to $50,000, based on
qualifications and need. In cases where a student is already receiving
financial awards, the award amount will be determined on a case by case
basis.
