Patricia M. Berninsone Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Patricia Berninsone was a beloved and talented professor of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. To honor her memory, her colleagues in the College of Science have established the Patricia M. Berninsone Memorial Scholarship Endowment in 2019 for undergraduate students in the Biology Department. Recipients shall be pursuing an undergraduate degree in Biology or Neuroscience full-time, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 to receive and retain the award. Preference will be given to students from traditionally under-represented groups in the fields of study of Biology or Neuroscience, and who meet all other stated criteria. In the event that such a student is not in the pool of qualified applicants, the scholarship shall be awarded to the highest ranking student given other award criteria.
