Malaria Consortium is proud to announce its partnership with
University of Nigeria in Nigeria and University of Pretoria in South
Africa, to continue Dr Sylvia Meek’s legacy through the Dr Sylvia Meek
Scholarship for Entomology.
Application Deadlines:
To Be Taken At (University): University of Nigeria, University of Pretoria
About the Award: The Scholarship for Entomology has been set up in the memory of Dr Sylvia Meek, Malaria Consortium’s Global Technical Director whose untimely passing away in 2016 has left a big void in the fight against infectious diseases, and malaria in particular.
Both Malaria Consortium and the Universities of Nigeria anad Pretoria are committed to ensure Sylvia’s values are carried on by the future generation of entomologists in Africa. Sylvia was not only a great scientist but someone with great compassion who was an inspiration to her associates and colleagues.
The scholarship, established in Sylvia’s honour by Malaria Consortium, will empower a new generation of public health entomologists and malaria staff in Africa and Asia. Given the limited number of field-oriented vector biologists, and the challenges African countries face in achieving malaria elimination, this scholarship is a great opportunity to support the next generation of public health entomologists in support of this quest.
