Joseph H. Camin Fellowship

This Entomological Foundation fellowship was established in honor of Joseph H. Camin who was an internationally recognized authority on the systematics and biology of the Acari and the mentor of many aspiring acarologists and entomologists. The annual award supports graduate students attending the Acarology Summer Program at Ohio State University or an equivalent institution where they can obtain training in the systematics of acarines. The value of the fellowship depends on interest earned from the endowment. The award will be presented at the Acarological Society of America's Annual Meeting and will be acknowledged at the ESA Annual Meeting.
