Ari Yehiel Blattstein Endowed Presidential Scholarship
Drs. Deborah and Abraham Blattstein, both UT alums, founded the Ari Yehiel Blattstein Endowed Presidential Scholarship in honor of their young son, Ari, whose promising life was ended by a tragic accident. Ari Yehiel Blattstein (1983-1991) had already accomplished much in his eight years, writing contest-winning poetry and creating art through various mediums. He had an impressive appreciation of museums and art. This annual scholarship is awarded alternately to undergraduate and graduate students participating in research at the Brackenridge Field Lab.
Summer Fellowships
Most summers the field station offers paid graduate and undergraduate research opportunities including the National Science Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates program through the Environmental Science Institute.
