The purpose of this award shall be to honor and recognize outstanding research by a Penn State graduate student majoring in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State, University Park. The endowment was established in the name of John C. Wyngaard, Professor Emeritus, in honor of his manifold contributions to the atmospheric sciences, and particularly his mentorship of students in atmospheric turbulence and boundary layer meteorology. John was involved in three national laboratories and served for two decades as a senior member of the faculty in Penn State's Department of Meteorology, where he opened new lines of inquiry, successfully addressed challenging problems in the field, and wisely counseled colleagues and students.The initial principal of this endowment was contributed by family, friends and colleagues, as well as John and Sandra Wyngaard

Funds for this endowment have been provided by Jon and Gwen Nese to support and promote activities of the Meteorology Alumni at Penn State (MAPS) society. Jon Nese received his B.S. ('83), M.S. ('85), and Ph.D.('89) degrees in Meteorology from Penn State and is a Senior Lecturer in the Department.

Consideration for this scholarship shall be given to undergraduate students enrolled or planning to enroll in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences who are majoring in or planning to major in Meteorology, who have achieved a grade point average of at least 2.5 (on a scale of 4.0).

Funds for this scholarship have been provided by Robert C. and Charlotte Landis. Consideration for this scholarship is given to undergraduate students majoring in or planning to major in a degree program within Meteorology and Atmospheric Science in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences who have a demonstrated financial need. First preference shall be given to students who have a home address of record outside of the U.S., or students participating in a study/travel abroad experience, or are U.S. military students and/or immediate family of a service member.

This award will be given to provide some assistance to a graduate student who has demonstrated excellence and a passion for weather and climate forecasting and communications. The award was established in memory of graduate student, Levenia Adom, who passed away from cancer just a few months before finishing her M.S. degree in January 2007. Through the efforts of many in the Department, her degree was awarded posthumously in May 2007. The award was established in January 2009 through the philanthropy of Levenia's family, friends, and colleagues.
