Lauren Interess Adventure Fellowship

 

The Lauren Interess Fellowship

Encouraging students to embrace the spirit of adventure that Lauren loved

Endowed by the Interess family in memory of Lauren Interess '98, the fellowship provides $1500 to fund a field or travel project related to earth sciences. 

Lauren loved geosciences and the outdoors, and found adventure in all sorts of places. She always sought out projects and outdoor research experiences, and the Interess Fellowship exists to allow students in our department to follow her lead and their hearts. Previous LIF recipients have used the funds to travel to Arizona, Mongolia, and the Virgin Islands.

If you have a dream that you would like to make real, during the summer, spring break, or as a Winter Study 99, talk to us. We accept ideas and applications on a rolling basis.
