This scholarship honors the memory of Jack Kleinman, a U.S. Geological Survey employee who died in a kayaking accident in 1994. The grant promotes collaborative projects on volcanoes among USGS scientists and university students by selecting awardees who are undertaking promising field-based research in the field of volcanology. Recipients exhibit the characteristics that best defined Jack Kleinman: exuberance, integrity, reliability, loyalty, and the abilities to relish challenge, inspire enthusiasm in others, and delight in the natural world.

The Jack Kleinman Memorial Fund for Volcano Research (Expendable) provides short-term cash for awards–donations to this fund are awarded in their entirety.

Visit the Jack Kleinman Memorial Fund for Volcano Research page on Facebook for recent news and information on how to apply. To make a contribution to the expendable fund and provide immediate support for promising and passionate students, you can donate through the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington website.
