CISAB (Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior) founding member William J. Rowland was devoted to the study of animal behavior. Rowland was also a strong advocate for mentoring and training undergraduates in research, particularly undergraduates who were in one way or another disadvantaged in their opportunities to gain research experience. The Bill Rowland Mentoring Scholarship was established in Bill’s memory to recognize graduate students who have served as outstanding research mentors to undergraduates.

If no graduate students are available, preference will then be given to undergraduates participating in the REU program or to graduate students affiliated with CISAB or the Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior Graduate Program in the Department of Biology who have mentored other undergraduate researchers.
