Alexander Hollaender Fellowship Award
The Alexander Hollaender Graduate Fellowship is made possible through an endowment fund contributed by Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Hollaender. In 1944, Dr. Hollaender established the Biology Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and was its Director until 1967. Dr. Hollaender had close ties to East Tennessee and expressed the wish that strong preference in awarding fellowships be given to students from this region. The Fellowship Committee will consider academic qualifications, geographical origin, and scientific/professional promise.
The Fellowship award of $6,000 will be awarded to one individual for the 2005-2006 academic year.
