- Description
- The Dr. Allan W. Hook Endowed Wild Basin Creative Research Fund offers awards up to $4,000 for research by students in all disciplines, including Natural Sciences, Education, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Management and Business, Humanities, and Computer Sciences. The fund offers research fellowships for undergraduate and graduate students from any accredited higher education institution who conduct their research at Wild Basin or in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve system near Austin, Texas. Additional funds can be requested for mentor stipend and supplies/equipment. This opportunity is made possible by the commitment and generosity of Dr. Allan W. Hook and Rosemary Guzman Hook, who established the endowment to honor Hook’s life work and dedication to providing students with opportunities both in and outside of the classroom. His philosophy was that “one can learn more from the natural world than from the human-made world.” The fund serves to promote a greater understanding of and appreciation for the Wild Basin Preserve and the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve system.
