Doctoral Fellows Program

The overarching goal of the Graham Doctoral Fellowship Program is to create a cohort of doctoral students who will ultimately engage in leadership roles within academia, industry, and government. To this end, the Graham Fellowship provides recipients with two-fold support: financial and interactive.

Each year, the Graham Institute competitively selects and admits six doctoral students into the Graham Doctoral Fellowship Program. As a recipient of this honor, each Graham Fellow receives $25,000 per year for two years to help support their doctoral-level research and studies. Applicants are reviewed by a strict set of criteria and considered only if their doctoral research projects are related to environmental sustainability.

On a broader scale, the Graham Doctoral Fellowship Program helps to create a "Community of Scholars," by which the Graham Fellows can collaborate, engage, and interact—both during their doctoral studies, as well as for years to come. During the fellows' period on campus, academic associations are cultivated through monthly seminars, annual retreats, workshops, and other Graham-sponsored forums.

The Graham Institute will accept Applications for the 2010 Doctoral Fellowship Program through October 15, 2009. Please click here for details.
