Redfield Graduate Fellowship

The James A. and Ann Redfield Graduate Fellowship aims to support graduate students in the fields of population ecology, evolution, behavior, and genetics. Funds from the award may be used as a stipend, to support travel for conferences or workshops, or in support of research.

Eligibility

All currently enrolled Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Ph.D. students engaged in dissertation research.

To Apply

Applications must be submitted directly to the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior graduate program during the spring semester to compete for funding to be awarded in late April. A call for applications and instructions are sent to eligible students in the spring.
