The National Weather Association Foundation
Meteorological Satellite Applications Award Grant
Will open in late 2020 with a spring 2021 deadline.
The Meteorological Satellite Applications Award Grant was established by the National Weather Association in 1999 to foster the study and use of satellite remote sensing date in weather analysis and forecasting. The award is sponsored by NWA Member Frances Holt, a past Chair of the Remote Sensing Committee, and was transferred to the NWA Foundation in 2017. The Grant is designed to support students enrolled in meteorology (or related field) programs at universities listed on the Department of Education’s Accreditation database. If a suitable recipient is available, that individual will receive a Grant of $500, free registration at the NWA Annual Meeting to present their paper, and a stipend of $500 to help cover associated travel and hotel expenses.
