Overview:

The family and friends of Jonathan O. Davis, a prominent U.S. geologist and geoarchaeologist and a DRI faculty member, have established an endowment that provides a yearly national Jonathan O. Davis Scholarship, as well as a stipend for a University of Nevada, Reno student.

Jonathan was tragically killed in an automobile accident in December 1990. It is the wish of his family and friends to support graduate students working on the Quaternary geology of the Great Basin, research close to Jonathan's heart. The national scholarship is $7,500 and the University of Nevada, Reno stipend is $7,500.
