The objective of the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club Scholarship/Grant program is to provide support for projects, individuals, institutions, equipment purchases, or events that promote the club’s mission of education, research, teaching, training, and increasing the public’s awareness of wild mushrooming.
Support may be given in the form of an educational Scholarship to someone studying in an area related to mycology; a Grant to an institution or event, or a Grant for a specific mycological project. In the case of a Grant, a proposal should be submitted summarizing the objectives, methods, timelines, and anticipated costs.
Although applications are welcome at any time, they should be received by the WPMC Scholarship Committee by June 30th of each year. Applications or recommendations for grants must be sponsored by a WPMC member.
Monetary awards are not to exceed $1,000 per application with a cumulative yearly amount not to exceed $2,000. The Scholarship Committee will make their recommendations to the WPMC Board of Directors for final approval.
