Purpose
June 2003 marked the grand opening of the Donald P. Shiley Center for Science and Technology, and the retirement of Dr. Alice B. Hayes, President of the University of San Diego. As part of the opening of the Shiley Center, a scholarship fund in honor of Dr. Hayes was therefore established in support of students who display merit and majoring in biology, chemistry or biochemistry, environmental and ocean sciences, biophysics or physics. Students may choose to use funding from the Hayes Scholarship fund to support summer and academic year research. A committee of faculty members from the four science departments will judge applications.

Potential applicants must email Lana Nguyen (lananguyen@sandiego.edu) in the Dean’s Office stating the type and amount you are applying for (scholarship for tuition and fees or research fellowship) prior to applying, to see if you qualify to receive the funds if you are selected as a recipient.

Purpose
This endowment was established by a $10,000 grant from the San Diego Oceans Foundation. Memorial funds given in honor of Stephen Sullivan were merged with this account in 2003. The Sullivan Family and the El Cajon Border Patrol's annual memorial golf event provided additional funds. In 2006, the Sister Dale Brown Marine Science Scholarship was merged into this fund. The earnings are to fund scholarships to graduate students or students whose studies will help to improve the management of our coastal resources. The scholarships are awarded on an as-needed basis to assist with travel to conferences and research-related expenses.
More Information
Applications can be submitted throughout the year and are evaluated by a faculty committee. Please see the Master of Science in Environmental and Ocean Sciences graduate handbook under the funding tab for more information.
