A little history: TAS derives the majority of its revenue from membership dues and meeting registration fees. The TAS Board chooses to put a substantial amount of this revenue to support the research of future scientists. TAS appreciates and acknowledges the dedication of Ned Strength and Don Harper in developing these research awards. Since 1998, TAS has awarded $88,500.00 directly to support research of nearly 100 students across all educational areas (Collegiate Academy to M.S. and Ph.D. students). Some of our early student award winners now hold faculty positions at institutions in Texas. Each one can describe how even a small grant award made a difference in there life as a scientist.
If you would be interested in sponsorship of any of these awards, we would love to hear from you. Please contact the Texas Academy of Science.
