Kallol Barai Orono has been selected as a 2024 recipient of a Graduate Research Grant by The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi — the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. The grants of up to $1,500 are designed to support graduate students who are active Society members seeking funding for research in support of career development opportunities. Barai is one of 20 recipients nationwide to receive the award.
Barai, graduate assistant at the University of Maine, will use funds from the award to present at the 16th International Conference on Precision Agriculture in Manhattan, Kansas.
Established in 2018, the grants are part of the Society’s robust award programs, which currently give $1.3 million each year to outstanding students and members through study abroad grants, graduate fellowships, funding for post-baccalaureate development, member and chapter awards, and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.
