Berry Graduate Student Fellowships
Berry Graduate Student Fellowships are intended for outstanding
students interested in pursuing a MS or PhD with an emphasis in
ecology, evolution, and/or conservation. Applicants must have a
faculty advisor from the Department of Zoology and Physiology.
Students currently in a graduate program at UW are ineligible. The
initial fellowship period is one year, renewable for up to a total of
three years contingent on performance. Starting date is August 2014.
Berry Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $24,000 and a
research fund of $5,000 per year. They will be eligible for UW benefits.
Application procedure
The applicant must first contact a faculty member in the Department
of Zoology and Physiology to arrange sponsorship. Once an advisor is
arranged, the applicant needs to submit, in a single PDF file: a
cover letter including the name of their faculty sponsor, a two-page
research interest and goals statement, a CV, and GRE scores.
Separately, applicants need to ensure that three letters of
recommendation and a letter of support from their faculty sponsor are
received by the Committee. All materials should be sent to the Berry
Fellowship Committee <cbenkman [at] uwyo.edu> by 10 January 2014. You
will also need to apply to the Graduate Program in the Department of
Zoology and Physiology. Refer to the following URL for applying:
