Overview

The Helen and Frederick Gaige Fund Awards support student herpetologists with grants typically ranging from $400 to $1000. Established in honor of Frederick and Helen Gaige, these awards aim to enhance professional careers through funding for research, fieldwork, and other relevant activities. Applications are prioritized based on merit and need, with a particular emphasis on new applicants over previous awardees seeking additional funding. This initiative reflects the Gaiges' legacy in advancing herpetology and supporting aspiring scientists.

Applications are solicited for grants to be awarded from the Gaige Fund. These funds are used to provide support to student herpetologists for museum or laboratory study, travel, fieldwork, or any other activity that will effectively enhance their professional careers by contributing to the science of herpetology.
Individual awards are typically in the range of $400–1000 and will be awarded on the basis of both merit and need. Because of limited funds, previous awardees requesting additional funding for the same or a similar project will be given lower priority than students who have not received Gaige funds.
