Scholarship amounts vary and are available to help defray the cost of attending a multi-day foray. The application is for current PVMA members only. The application should be comprised of a letter to the scholarship committee that includes:

​

1) Which foray or educational workshop you want to attend.

​

2) Your specific interests in the field of mycology and how attending the foray will aid you in furthering your mycological education. Examples include learning about edibles, learning more about a particular group of fungi, wanting to hear presentations from experts in the field, etc.

​

3) Why you think you’re a good candidate for the award.

 

The application deadline is July 30. If there are no applicants by the deadline, late applications may be considered. In the event of a limited amount of funds, and there are multiple scholarship winners, the total award may be split. If a winning applicant is unable to attend the foray due to an extenuating circumstance, the award will be forfeited and given to the next qualified applicant. We must receive a copy of the foray registration before the award will be disbursed. Note: The number of scholarships in any given year will be dependent upon the PVMA treasury balance. Scholarship recipients who wish to re-apply in subsequent years will be considered after those who have never applied before. Please email all inquiries and/or applications to Jess Evans (email here).
