International Graduate Student Fellowship Program

The International Graduate Student Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for non U.S. citizens to study a diversified curriculum in biodiversity, conservation, systematics, and public policy.

Students are able to choose among the numerous offerings of four major universities to create a graduate program from which they will bring an interdisciplinary mix of skills and experience to bear on the environmental problems of their countries.

Students are part of a joint Museum-university program offering the Ph.D. degree.

Under the direction of a Museum curator or other staff member, students will attend classes at both the Museum and their chosen university.

Support

The fellowship will provide travel assistance, stipend support for 12 months, and tuition. Support is for 4 years, renewable annually providing the student remains in good standing.

Eligibility

Applicants must have a bachelor's degree and be able to fulfill university admission requirements which will include TOEFL and Graduate Record Examinations.
