The Yeunkyung Woo Achieve Excellence Travel Scholarship Fund
The Yeunkyung Woo Achieve Excellence Travel Scholarship Fund was created in 2002 by the Biological Sciences Department in memory of Yeunkyung Woo, a talented, energetic and well-loved PhD student. Yeunkyung’s expressed desire was to get the opportunity to present her work at major scientific meetings, and this fund provides travel awards to help our current graduate students do just that. Twice per year the Department issues a call for applications from graduate students who plan to travel to major meetings to present their results, and winners are chosen competitively, as funds allow. Since 2003 the Achieve Excellence Travel Scholarship fund has provided travel funds in Yeunkyung’s name to more than 30 deserving graduate students, whose presentations have honored Yeunkyung’s memory and flown the flag for research in Purdue Biological Sciences.
