2020 Pam Daale Memorial Scholarship in Broadcast and Operational Meteorology Application
The Central Iowa Chapter of the National Weather Association is sponsoring a scholarship in memory of broadcast meteorologist Pam Daale in the amount of $1500.  Application materials must be received by Friday, February 21, 2020. The recipient will be notified around March 1st.

Pam Daale was best known as a television meteorologist at KMGH in Denver, but had numerous ties to Iowa. She was born and raised in Iowa, graduated from Iowa State University, and first worked at WOI-TV (Now ABC5 in Des Moines). Pam was an extremely popular meteorologist who courageously overcame adversity to not only succeed in her career but to help others. A horseback-riding accident at age 16 left her paraplegic, but this did not stop her from becoming a popular broadcast meteorologist. Later, as she fought cancer for nearly two years before her death in April 2004, she used her experiences to educate her viewers about the disease. In every aspect of her life, she had a tremendously positive impact on those around her. Her courage, strength, and concern for others, springing from a deep faith in God, should inspire us all.

Eligibility: The $1,500 scholarship is available to all full-time students pursuing a career in broadcast or operational meteorology, having a sophomore or junior status at the time of the chapter’s annual Severe Storms and Doppler Radar Conference (March 26 - March 28, 2020) in Ankeny, IA and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater (on a 4.0-point scale). The award will be presented at the conference, and the winner must attend the conference to receive the scholarship. The selectee will receive up to $250 for travel and lodging and the conference registration fee will be waived.

Application Procedures: To apply for the scholarship, the following items are necessary:
-  Complete the following application.
-  Send a copy of transcripts (unofficial are acceptable) from all post-secondary schools attended. Only one transcript is required if it includes all post-secondary course work.

Please send transcript copies to:

Evaluation and Selection: Evaluation of applicants will be performed by the Awards Committee.  University personnel on the committee will excuse themselves from evaluating applicants with ties to their own universities. The candidate selected will be contacted before the conference to ensure their attendance at the conference – a necessary requirement to receive the scholarship for the first place selectee.

Deadline: Application materials must be received by February 21, 2020. The recipient will be notified around March 1st.
