\n

n honor of Dr. Lincoln Brower\u2019s extraordinary dedication and commitment to monarch conservation, the Monarch Butterfly Fund has established the\u00a0Lincoln P. Brower Award<\/strong>, a $3,000 grant to support undergraduate or graduate students in research<\/a> on the conservation of monarch butterflies and their habitats. This award is open to citizens of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico and may apply to research<\/a> anywhere along the monarch\u2019s migration route.<\/p>\n

Dr. Brower began studying monarch butterflies in 1954 and dedicated his career to their biology and conservation<\/a>. He became enthralled with monarch butterflies by his first encounter with them in Mexico and realized then that not only were they beautiful, but their spectacular migration was a gift from nature worth conserving<\/a>. The Lincoln P. Brower grant will be awarded to those who wish to continue Dr. Brower\u2019s commitment to monarch conservation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
