NWA SCHOLARSHIPS for 2004

The First annual AccuWeather, Inc., sponsored NWA Undergraduate Scholarship in Meteorology is awarded to Ashley Marie Hayes of New Orleans, Louisiana. This $1,000 scholarship will assist Ms. Hayes as she enters her junior year later this summer at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi. Ms. Hayes has had an avid interest in meteorology since she was a young child, and in high school confirmed her career path. She is a top academic student on the Dean's List and has excelled in the Meteorology Student Undergraduate Research/Work Program at JSU. She has accomplished internships at National Weather Service offices in Slidell, Louisiana and Jackson, Mississippi under a NOAA grant, "Initiating a New Partnership for the 21st Century: NOAA/NWS and JSU promoting Diversity in Atmospheric Science through Research, Application and Partnership." For her outstanding efforts she was selected by the JSU faculty to present research at the 2003 NWA Annual Meeting in Jacksonville, Florida and the 2003 Expanding Opportunities in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Conference in Tallahassee, Florida. Her Professors attest to her abilities as an outstanding student, able researcher and promising young meteorologist. The NWA Education Committee received 24 applications for the AccuWeather Undergraduate Scholarship for 2004 from students at 11 colleges/universities and the competition was tough. Best Wishes to all individuals that applied. Congratulations again to Ashley Marie Hayes! Applications for the annual $1,000 AccuWeather NWA Undergraduate Scholarship in Meteorology are due to the NWA Education Committee by 15 May each year.
