Application Process
The IFR Academic Board recognizes that some students demonstrate great academic promise already as undergraduate students. It also recognizes that the cost of a field school may pose a hurdle to such promising students with limited financial resources. To support promising students and create a path for significant intellectual and academic growth, the IFR Opportunity Scholarship will support a number of students and will cover the full cost of a field school plus the cost of airfare to and from the field. This scholarship covers only students applying to an IFR field school and has no cash value.
