Grants

The Board of Directors of the Southern California Academy of Sciences is pleased to announce its annual SCAS Student Research Grant. Students presently in an Undergraduate, Masters or Doctoral program may apply by completing the following grant application. Student’s immediate research advisor must be a SCAS member in good standing. Proposals will be considered in any field of science with an emphasis on the southern California area. Research will be funded for a period of one year. Many organizations support student research, thus applicants are encouraged to apply for multiple sources of funding.

Recipients of the award must present their research at the following Annual Meeting in 2026 and submit a summary of their research progress to the SCAS newsletter The Smilodon. Grant award winners will be announced at the annual meeting in May 2025. Applications are due no later than February 15, 2025.
