Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club Scholarship/Grant Application

    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.
