The Everglades Foundation provides fellowships and scholarships for advanced research in support of the restoration of the Florida Everglades. The Foundation is committed to supporting graduate research students actively pursuing the development of innovative scientific methods to advance the understanding of Everglades physical, chemical or biological processes, or research in economic impacts of environmental changes.
Eligibility
The scholarships and fellowships are open to full-time graduate research students pursuing degrees in earth sciences, biological sciences, engineering, geography, planning and resources management, and economics. Cross-disciplinary research efforts are of special interest. Unlike the Scholarship, the Fellowship program will be supporting direct collaboration between university professors (and/or scientists affiliated with other agencies) and Foundation science staff member(s). This collaboration is to be initiated by the academic staff member at least 6 months before the award is made.
Awards
Both scholarships and fellowships provide $ 20,000 / year (PhD level) and $ 10,000 / year (MSc level) for stipends, tuition fees, travel, and other research-related expenses. The amount of money associated with the fellowship and scholarship is subject to change. This year, at least two fellowships will be awarded. The number of scholarships depends on the number and quality of applications.
Application Deadlines
Applications will be accepted until July 1, 2014. Awards will be announced no later than September 1, 2014.
