Scholarships

The Dr. George N. Huppert Scholarship Program is open to all those involved in cave and karst management, and may be used to encourage papers as well as attendance. For example, students, people new to cave management, cave and land conservancy members, federal and state employees involved in cave management, and individuals with limited financial resources are all eligible for scholarships. Priority is given to applicants who will be attending the full symposium, and applications for day passes may not be considered appropriate.

Applicants will be ranked as follows:

• Student presenting a paper

• Student not presenting a paper

• Non-student presenting a paper

• Non-student not presenting a paper

Scholarship funding for recipients covers lodging or registration costs, or both. Each scholarship recipient is responsible for additional expenses, including transportation and food.

The deadline for submitting scholarship applications for the 2025 NCKMS is August 20. Applicants who submit their requests before the deadline will be notified.

To apply for a scholarship to the upcoming symposium, download and complete the application form and email it to: scholarships@nckms.org. Members of our scholarship committee will review your application and respond after the closing date. Please feel free to send any questions you may have about scholarships to that same address.
