Honoring the legacy of June Bacon-Bercey, America’s first female television meteorologist, the June Bacon-Bercey Scholarship in Atmospheric Sciences for Women will support women students with a demonstrated interest in atmospheric sciences and intersections with meteorology as they establish their studies and build careers in the field. The scholarship will recognize that the awardee’s outstanding accomplishments for a scientist at their career-stage and will acknowledge that the awardee shows exceptional promise for continued contributions to the atmospheric sciences.
This scholarship was originally offered to the AGU community between 1978 and 1990 and will be re-established beginning in 2021, funded through the generosity of June Bacon-Bercey’s daughter, Dail St. Claire, and other family and friends.
