Ingrid Aspen All Memorial Mountain Research Fund



In honor of Ingrid Aspen All, who's life of adventure was cut short before it began, WWU's Mountain Environments Research Institute is pleased to offer research awards to women who are enrolled in Western's Mountain Research Skills Certificate program. The awards of up to $1000 are available to help young female researchers conduct field research in mountain environments. Grantees are expected to produce a tangible product that communicates their results to the public. This can be a scientific paper, a documentary, etc. Students who are participating in the Mountain Institute's annual summer class 'Mountain Science in the Peruvian Andes' (https://meri.wwu.edu/esci-498-peru-expedition<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeri.wwu.edu%2Fesci-498-peru-expedition&data=02%7C01%7Cdhclark%40wwu.edu%7Cc22ea4115d354bbd576708d6c49f1267%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C636912584834408168&sdata=XzfsHl7rbmV7gE%2F1bo6BCKMzS9PV%2BiBR5JXkqXco7tQ%3D&reserved=0>) are especially encouraged to apply.
