The Dr. Laurel
Salton Clark Memorial Graduate Fellowship Award
The Dr. Laurel Salton Clark Memorial Graduate Fellowship Award was
established by the Wisconsin Space
Grant Consortium in 2004 in honor of Dr. Laurel Clark, Columbia
Space Shuttle astronaut and resident of Wisconsin. The award is granted
annually to a promising Wisconsin graduate student attending a Wisconsin
Space Grant institution, who is pursuing studies in the fields of
environmental or life sciences, and whose research has an aerospace
component. Additionally, the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium seeks
to support those students who personify the qualities of leadership,
intellectual balance, and an ongoing commitment to improving the human
condition that were the hallmarks of Dr. Clark's life.
