With the Hewins Scholarship, Aniah can devote extra time studying on campus over summer semesters. During this time, she will be able to intern at facilities focusing on avian research to gain experience in the field. She will apply this experience towards her career plans of avian veterinary science.

Richard is a third-year graduate student in Senior Scientist Eric Knox’s lab where he studies how plant distributions in Indiana have changed in response to anthropogenic forces. He will be using this scholarship to fund his third field research season along the Wabash River.
