Henry and Sylvia Richardson Research Grant
Offered by Entomological Society of America
Reviewed by Lisa FreedlandLast updated May 16, 2025
Scholarship Overview
Dr. Henry Richardson was an emeritus member of ESA (Entomological Society of America). To help young, aspiring entomologists pursue their studies, Henry and his wife, Sylvia, established the Henry and Sylvia Richardson Research Grant.
To qualify, applicants must be postdoctoral ESA members who have at least one year of promising work experience and who have received their PhD degree within the past five years. They must also be undertaking research in selected areas of insect control and have a minimum 3.0 GPA. While primary priority will be given to those working in insect control by attractants, repellents, biological controls, thermocontrols, or chemical controls, second priority will be given to those candidates working in insect control of medical or veterinary importance. If there is no suitable candidate in these categories, candidates working in physiology or toxicology may be considered. Students must be nominated (by anyone) to apply.
If this sounds like a good opportunity for you, or you know of someone who would be a good candidate, we encourage you to apply and/or nominate them! Keep on reading to learn more.
