The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) is pleased to announce graduate fellowships to support incoming Ph.D. students starting fall semester 2016. The Presidential Fellowships are merit-based and designed to support recruitment of outstanding students into the UMCES graduate programs interested in working with any faculty member. Up to three years stipend, health benefits, and tuition will be covered.
UMCES is Maryland’s premier research institution aimed at advancing scientific knowledge of the environment. UMCES scientists conduct research at four laboratories: the Appalachian Laboratory in the mountains of western Maryland, the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, the Horn Point Laboratory on the Eastern Shore, and the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology in Baltimore. UMCES faculty members advise and support more than 80 graduate students annually through two collaborative Ph.D. programs based at the College Park campus: Marine Estuarine Environmental Sciences and the Graduate Program in Life Sciences.
