The Joan Irvine Smith & Athalie R. Clarke Foundation Award for Undergraduate Environmental Reseach will be presented each

year to outstanding Junior or first-semester Senior students, with preference given to students enrolled in Biological Sciences,

or any other relevant undergraduate program at the University of Rhode Island. The award is intended to encourage

outstanding students to engage in research to study ways to preserve and protect the environment and improve the quality of

life. Preference will be given to research related to understanding, protecting, or preserving the coastal, marine and or

freshwater environments. It is expected that the students will perform original research, and at the conclusion of their projects

will write a paper or present a paper or poster session. Also, the awardees will be encouraged to present their reseach at a

professional conference. Rationale: The National Science Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have both

identified an opportunity to do undergraduate research as a hallmark of an outstanding undergraduate science program.

Students at URI have been working on projects in the laboratories of their instructors for decades, but the scope of these

projects has been limited by a lack of funding for supplies, small pieces of equipment, etc. The Joan Irvine Smith & Athalie R.

Clarke Foundation Award for Undergraduate Environmental Research will enable outstanding students selected in a

competetive review of proposals to conduct original research supervised by leading URI scientists and scholars. By teaming up

our best students with outstanding faculty, we can provide an opportunity to encourage these students to aim toward careers

involved in preservation and protection of the environment.

Richard B. Morrison Memorial Scholarship Endowment General

The endowment shall be used to provide support to a graduate of Pittsfield Massachusetts High School. Second preference is

to support a student from Classical High School in Providence, Rhode Island. There are no academic majors/degree areas

attached to the award. If no student from Pittsfield or Classical High Schools qualify in a given year, the Rendine Scholarship is

to be awarded to a qualifying student from the state of Massachusetts or Rhode Island. To qualify for the scholarship, a student

must have achieved at least a 3.00 average, and have a demonstrated financial need. The scholarship is designed to recognize

academic achievement while also addressing a student's financial need. It is also designed to assist URI with its student

recruitment and retention efforts. Thus, a student receiving the Rendine Scholarship as an entering freshman, may receive the

award for each of the four years of his/her undergraduate career, providing the student meets the academic and financial

qualification on a regular basis. This will help deserving students to remain enrolled by assuring some financial support. It

should be noted that a student falling below a 3.00 for a given semester would not be automatically disqualified but would have

a full academic year to fulfill the criterion. The University's Financial Aid Office will determine who receives the award.
