Leo Salgado has been honored with the Paul J. Chapman Graduate Student Fellowship for the 2025-2026 academic year. This fellowship is awarded each year to a graduate student in Entomology, with preference given to students sponsored by a Geneva-based faculty member. The Chapman Fellow is selected by a committee composed of the full professors of Entomology located at the Geneva campus. The award is based on the three broad criteria used for nominations for the John Henry Comstock Graduate Student Award in the ESA:  1) scientific quality of research work, 2) publications and presentations, and 3) involvement in professional activities.

The fellowship grants a full 12-month stipend to include the summer and tuition, insurance and fees for the academic year. Please join us in congratulating Leo on his accomplishment!
