<div>Hello,</div><div> </div><div>As part of LA-SiGMA's Diversity Plan, each LA-SiGMA institution will offer supplemental funding to qualified Under-Represented Minority and/or female graduate students. Eligible students will complete an application and submit other necessary materials to me at <a href="mailto:lgalat1@lsu.edu">lgalat1@lsu.edu</a>; I will then send all application materials to the EEWD representative at each school so that faculty members at each school can choose which student(s) will receive the supplements. </div>
<div> </div><div>The application is available on the LA-SiGMA website at <a href="http://www.institute.loni.org/lasigma/documents_la.php">http://www.institute.loni.org/lasigma/documents_la.php</a> under Miscellaneous Documents. I have also attached both a PDF and MS Word version of the application. If you would like to nominate a graduate student for this supplement, please have the student complete the application and submit other necessary materials to <a href="mailto:lgalat1@lsu.edu">lgalat1@lsu.edu</a>.</div>
<div> </div><div>Please contact me with any questions.</div><div> </div><div>Regards,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br></div><div><font size="4" face="tahoma,sans-serif">Leigh Townsend</font></div>
