Scholarship, Internship and Fellowship Opportunities
In order to provide resources for the advancement of the educational mission of San José State University, the Claude E. and Alberta D. Walker Estate established a fund to provide scholarships to students. Claude and "Dora" Walker were long-time California residents with a profound appreciation and respect for higher education. They were inspired to visit SJSU in 1998 by a radio program on meteorology, and chose SJSU based on its reputation. Beginning in July 2009 the endowment proceeds will be used to fund scholarships for graduate and undergraduate students in need of assistance in Meteorology in the College of Science. The department offers the Claude E. and Alberta D. Walker Scholarships to incoming graduate students for their first year of study. The amount offered ranges up to $5,000, and depends upon GPA (3.0 and above), GRE scores and financial needs.
