The Beth Calabotta Sustainability Grant was established in 2018 to help deserving full-time students interested in science, research and biodiesel sustainability. This $2,000 grant provides financial aid to a student studying initiatives that promote or support the use of biodiesel or renewable diesel.  A portion of the financial award should be used to cover the recipient’s costs to attend and participate in the Sustainability Workshop and related pre-and post-activities. The two-day Biodiesel Sustainability Workshop is scheduled for March 12 and 13, 2024 in Kansas City, Kansas. Any remaining funds should be applied toward academic expenses. This grant is currently closed.  Congratulations to Pranab Adhikari for winning the 2024 grant.

Past Recipients: Caleb Moellenhoff (2022),  Kayla Kittrick (2020), Mary Kate Mitchell (2018)
