The Dona G. Graam Fellowship is the result of a bequest from Dona Gayler Graam (1892-1979). She taught at West Terre Haute and Indiana State University. Graam also opened a medical laboratory in Terre Haute and worked in the laboratory for eight years. The fellowship supports female graduate students who are engaged in research or teaching in zoology.
