Brian Kovaric Fund

This annual summer support fund has been established by the Kovaric family in memory of Brian (Haverford Chemistry ’05.) The fund will support one first year / rising sophomore as a summer research student in the natural sciences for a 10 week appointment.

The student is required to present a poster at the end of the summer and to write a letter of thanks to the family (which can be sent through the Provost or Institutional Advancement).

To reflect Brian’s contributions to our community, we consider students who are original thinkers and who love science.

Department faculty are asked to consider nominations for the Brian Kovaric Fund, with a deadline of Thursday, February 12, 2009. The nominees then will be asked to submit their transcript and a short paragraph answering the following question: "Write a paragraph or two describing why you would like to be part of a research lab at Haverford this coming summer, and how this experience could benefit you in your future studies and in life after Haverford." We will consider the applications and make a decision about the award shortly after the deadline.
