Greetings and a happy new year!

It is time to announce the 2012 round for the Conchologists of America Academic Grants
competition. The instructions are the same as for previous years; details can be found under

Re eligibility: there are no restrictions on eligibility. Specifically, all nationalities, all places of
residences, and students as well a non-students can apply.
The usual maximum award is US$1500. Most grants are given to degree-seeking students,
which also constitute that largest group of applicants.
Applicants from previous years can re-apply, including those, who have received funding.
The submission deadline remains the same even in this leap year: February 28, 2012. Students
are responsible to ensure that letters of recommendations have been sent on their behalf.
All applications must be sent electronically in a common readable format (Word, .pdf). Keep
