The Sarachek Predoctoral Honors Fellowship provides an award of $15,000 to a resident graduate student enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Kansas State University.  Student’s research must be in a field of study relying significantly on contemporary molecular biological techniques. 

In addition to the Honors Fellowship, two Sarachek Scientific Travel Awards of $1,000 each will be presented annually, as determined by a faculty selection committee.

For either category of award, the student’s dissertation research must rely significantly on the application of contemporary molecular biological techniques.

The Sarachek Fellowship is intended for students with an outstanding record of research and may not be awarded every year.
 

Biography of the Saracheks


"Kansas State University has traditionally offered a broad array of quality programs in the life sciences, many of which have outstanding reputations, nationally. Having taken my PhD in Genetics from KSU a half a century ago, my wife RosaLee and I are delighted to be able to contribute to that tradition of excellence by providing a special fellowship for recognition and support of advanced doctoral candidates from any field of study who have demonstrated exceptional research accomplishments involving molecular approaches to biological problems."

-- Dr. Alvin Sarachek
