What would $78,000 do for your graduate education? That is how much Canon U.S.A. just awarded to each of eight doctoral candidates in the fields of conservation, environmental science and park management.
A decade ago, the U.S. arm of the Japanese imaging company established the Canon National Parks Science Scholars program to conduct research on conservation and sustainability in national parks in the Americas. According to Canon, the scholars picked for the program have done research in more than 85 national parks and published more than 340 scientific papers.
Five of this year's scholars hail from four U.S. colleges and universities--the University of Montana, Rutgers University, Cornell University, Oregon State University--and the others study at University of Alberta and McMaster University in Canada, and the Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivida, Chile.
