The amount of the Scholarship will be approximately $15,000 U.S. The scholarship holder is encouraged to seek funds in addition to the scholarship; the host laboratory may be able to provide additional funds.
The scholarship money is paid in three installments (one of $7,500 at the beginning, another of $7,000 six months after he/she has started work, and a third of $500 upon delivery of a final report after completion of work). A brief mid-term report is required before payment of the second installment.

A form outlining the research program and signed by the supervisor in the laboratory where the research is to be carried out must be submitted with the application to indicate the agreement of the laboratory and the proposed supervisor.
