The Graduate Student Program in Global Change Research was established in 1990 to support graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Earth System Science. Fellowships are awarded for an initial one-year term and may be renewed annually for up to two more years, based on satisfactory progress as reflected in academic performance and evaluations made by faculty advisors. The amount of the award is $20,000 which may be used as a stipend to defray living expenses, tuition, travel, books, supplies, and fees. An additional $2,000 is available by request for the faculty advisor's use in support of the student's research. The pie charts at the right depict the number of fellowships awarded for the years 1990 through 1995.
