Reminder: Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship Application Deadline Coming Soon
Each year, The Garden Club of America (GCA) and the Center for Plant Conservation together award the Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship to graduate students in biology, horticulture, or a related field. The purpose of the award is “to promote conservation of rare and endangered flora in the United States, with preference given to students whose projects focus on the endangered flora of the Carolinas and southeastern United States.” The fellowship was established to honor Catherine H. Beattie, who served as a director and board member of the GCA and as president from 1981 to 1983.
The fellowship provides one annual research grant of up to $4,500. The grant is regarded as compensation for work at a botanical garden by the student, who jointly serves the program of the Center for Plant Conservation and their curricular studies. For 2024’s fellowship recipient, an additional $500 stipend will be included to defray the cost of attendance to a conference of their choice.
We are now accepting applications for 2024 fellowships. Please visit CPC’s website for more information about the Beattie Fellowship and detailed application instructions. Applications are due January 31, 2024.
