    Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences

    FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

    Funding for Prospective Graduate Students

    Each Fall, several matching assistantships for students, Grinter Fellowships of $2,000 - $4,000, and CALS Dean's Awards of $31,000 (over four years) are awarded to outstanding new students in Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences. Additional or alternative funding may be available contingent upon faculty members' individual research programs (see currently available opportunities below). Application to the graduate program automatically qualifies you for funding consideration, provided you have included the Application for Assistantship with your application documents and a nomination letter from your prospective faculty advisor.

    Current Assistantships

    Distance education students are not supported by departmental or faculty funding; however, they are eligible for competitive departmental scholarships (see SWESD Scholarships below), which range between $500 and $1,000.

    See the page for deadlines and instructions on applying to graduate programs.
