Crystallography is an interdisciplinary branch of science taught in departments of physics, chemistry, geology, molecular biology, metallurgy and materials science. To encourage promising graduate students to pursue crystallographically-oriented research, the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) has established a Crystallography Scholarship Fund. The ICDD has awarded twenty-eight scholarships in the amount of $2,000 each since 1992. The year 2000 Scholarship Award has been increased to $2,250. Applications for the year 2000 awards must be received by ICDD no later thatn 29 October 1999.   Qualifications for the applicants: The applicant should be a graduate student seeking a degree with major interest in crystallography e.g. crystal structure analysis, crystal morphology, modulated structures, correlation of atomic structure with physical properties, systematic classification of crystal structures, phase identification and materials characterization. There are no restrictions on country, race, age or sex. The term of the scholarship is one year. Application for one renewal may be made by the recipient at the end of the first year. Because a limited number of scholarships are awarded, renewal applications will be considered on a competitive basis in conjunction with all applications that have been submitted up to the closing date. Submit: Curriculum Vitae, listing degree(s) held and degree(s) sought. A one-page proposal by the graduate student describing the type of crystallographic research to be partially supported by the scholarship. A supportive letter from the sponsoring professor of an accredited university or an institute of technology on institution letterhead. Restrictions on the scholarship fund: The scholarship stipend is to be used by the graduate student to help defray tuition, laboratory fees and cost of books and/or journals on crystallography. A portion of the stipend may be applied to registration fees to accredited scientific meetings related to crystallography. No more than one scholarship will be awarded to applicants at any one accredited institution per year. The funds of the scholarship are not to be used for travel. The awarding of the scholarships shall be administered by a committee consisting of the ICDD Chairman, the Chairman of the ICDD Technical Committee, the Chairman of the ICDD Education Subcommittee and three or four individuals without a conflict of interest. One or more accredited professors (with no conflicts of interest) may be invited to assist in the selection of successful candidates. Applications must be received by 29 October 1999.
