Scholarships

The Gerontology Program offers students three funding opportunities, including two opportunities for scholarship awards and one for a cash prize. Each spring, students enrolled in the program can apply for an Academic Scholarship, which is based on academic merit. Each fall, students can apply for a Service Award, which recognizes exceptional service in the field of gerontology. Academic Scholarships can be received twice, but a Service Award can only be received once. Students that present their research at the annual Fulton Conference or Gerontology Conference are eligible for a cash prize for "Best Poster" relating to Gerontology. These three opportunities are available each year to current Gerontology Minor students.

2022 Best Poster Award

Gerontology students enrolled in the minor program are eligible to participate in the annual Fulton Mentored Learning Conference, where students can present their research and win cash prizes for "Best Poster." The conference gives students an opportunity to orally present their research to other students, faculty members, and the public. Students must have a faculty mentor in the FHSS department to apply.
