James Marsh Scholarships
In 2015, Dr. James A. Marsh, Jr. established a scholarship to support graduate students enrolled in a thesis program in marine biology or environmental science related to water resources in either the thesis or professional tracks. Selection committee to be established by Marine Lab to determine recipients and purpose of award.
There are two types of awards available:
1) The existing scholarship corpus currently providing $500 annually will be used
to provide tuition assistance for first year students without other support.
2) Income generated from the additional donation will be used to provide a) back-end
thesis registration tuition for students who have completed coursework b) expenses
for addt’l training or fieldwork related to thesis or internship completion, or c)
travel awards for students making presentations at off-island conferences. The ML
selection committee may subdivide available funds in this category into more or fewer
awards, not to exceed $800 per award and limited to one award per student. Payment
of the award to be made directly to the student.
About James Marsh
James Marsh
James A. Marsh, Jr., as a newly hired assistant professor, was one of the original UOG Marine Laboratory faculty members when the facility opened in 1970. Over the years he was promoted through the ranks to professor and received tenure, and he served for three years as director of the Marine Laboratory.
The UOG Water Resources Research Center (which later became the Water and Environmental Research Institute) was established under his acting directorship in 1975; he served a year in the position at that time and later served again as acting director. He was Dean of Graduate Studies and Research for four and a half years. Upon his retirement from UOG, he was named Professor Emeritus of Marine Biology.
