The Dye-Leverton Graduate Fellowship was created in memory of Marie Dye and Ruth Leverton. Marie served as Dean of the College of Home Economics at Michigan State University from 1926-1956. Ruth was a renowned nutrition research scientist and two-time winner (1942, 1953) of the prestigious Borden Award for outstanding research in nutrition or experimental foods. This is a $5,000 fellowship and up to $1,000 of support for one year of AAFCS membership and participation in the AAFCS Annual Conference will be awarded to a qualified graduate student pursuing a degree in family and consumer sciences.
