   Reuben Albaugh Scholarship
[]

The Reuben Albaugh Scholarship is open to UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisors working in the area of “animal agriculture” to assist their educational opportunities by visiting the UC Davis campus and provide opportunities for interaction with Animal Science faculty and students. Scholarship recipients will be provided a desk in the Department of Animal Science and are highly encouraged to interact with Animal Science faculty and students during their stay.

HISTORY:  The Scholarship was established by the family of Reuben Albaugh, in memory of Reuben who was a long-time Cooperative Extension Advisor and Specialist. The scholarship is available to support UCCE Farm Advisors to study on the UC Davis campus.

The scholarship was originally envisioned to help support sabbatical leaves by Advisors.  As sabbatical leaves have become harder to arrange, due to workload or other obligations, we are considering scholarship proposals for shorter-term visits to campus.

PRIORITIES: The Albaugh Scholarship is intended to provide financial support to encourage and enhance the educational opportunities for Farm Advisors through visitation to the UCD campus.  On-campus interactions between Advisors and Animal Science faculty and students are an important component for awards. Multi-day stays preferred over occasional daily visits, but both are eligible for awards. 

AWARDS:  Award amounts will be dependent upon length of proposed stay, activities, and number of scholarships awarded during the annual cycle.
