EEB graduate student Sandra Yap has been awarded the Barbour Scholarship for 2009-10 by the Rackham Graduate School. Yap joins a long line of outstanding women who, over the past 94 years, have become leaders in science, education, public service, medicine and other fields in their home countries all over the world. She will receive $16,800, tuition and health insurance for the academic year.
In 1914, the bequest of Levi L. Barbour established a scholarship program at U-M for women of the highest academic and professional caliber from the area formerly known as the Orient (encompassing the region extending from Turkey in the west to Japan and the Philippines in the east) to study modern science, medicine, mathematics and other academic disciplines and professions critical to the development of their native lands. Yap is from the Philippines and after graduation, she plans to join the faculty at the Institute of Biology at the University of the Philippines, Diliman campus (her alma mater).
