BILL CAMPBELL MEMORIAL FUND

Application Form

The Bill Campbell Memorial Fund was established by his wife, Nelly Campbell, and his many friends around the world. Bill was an educated, cultured, and international man who personified the goals and aspirations of the University. His love of learning was not limited to his area of scientific research but embraced the full range of human experience. Because of his outstanding contributions to science and the University, he received an honorary degree from Puget Sound in 1992. The Bill Campbell Fund ensures that Bill’s passion for learning and sharing ideas, his enthusiasm, his courage, his love and concern for the environment will be passed from generation to generation of Puget Sound students and that he will occupy a place at the heart of the University.

The Fund makes grants to one or more students enrolled at the University of Puget Sound who are studying abroad as part of one of the University’s recognized Study Abroad programs. The purpose of the grant is to give students a chance to extend the period of their study abroad program in order to complete a special project or course of study. Awards typically range from $500-1500. They are made by the scholarship committee of the Delta of Washington Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national academic honor society.

The deadlines for applications are November 15 for spring programs and April 15 for fall programs.
