NRES Fund for Excellence
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences is able to fulfill its commitment to the land grant mission, in part, with gifts to the NRES Fund for Excellence. Gifts to the fund allow department leadership to solve the most pressing needs each year by applying gifts toward the greatest needs. The most common uses of the fund include supplementing the department scholarship and fellowship offerings, enhancing our Extension presence, facility and equipment updates, student study abroad experiences, and individual travel requests for professional conferences at the regional and national level.

The NRES Scholarship fund assists in attracting and retaining the best and brightest students to the department, providing them with a world-class education, and preparing them for success after graduation.

O'Hara-Brawn Study Abroad Scholarship Fund
The O’Hara-Brawn Study Abroad Scholarship Fund was established by Professor Emeritus and former Department Head Jeff Brawn to provide study abroad opportunities for students in NRES such as the group study abroad experiences in Africa, Mexico, the Bahamas, and India. These experiences are often life-changing for students and help them decide what careers they want to pursue.
