First preference is given to qualified Master’s candidates and second to Master's or Doctoral level students in need of summer support or financial assistance for special seminars or training.

This endowed fellowship was established in 1993 by Indiana University alumni, Fern (Hays) and Clifford DeLaCroix. Hudock taught and mentored Mrs. DeLaCroix during her college career, and she wished to honor him for his outstanding teaching ability, support, and guidance.

George Hudock came to Indiana University in 1965 and remained here until his retirement in 2000. Hudock's outstanding teaching earned him several awards, including IU’s Ulysses G. Weatherly Award for distinguished teaching and the Senior Class Award for Teaching Excellence in Biology and Dedication to Undergraduates.
