Description

UCAR’s Next Generation Fellowship program is now taking applications. This program is a prestigious, multi-faceted opportunity to engage with and learn from UCAR’s leaders in one of three tracks:

• Earth System Science
• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
• Science Policy.

Each fellow receives a $40,000 award over two years ($10,000 per semester), an all expenses paid research trip to Boulder, CO or Washington DC (for science policy fellows), and the support of a like minded cohort. 

The primary goal of this program is to facilitate engaged, motivated students in becoming changemakers in the field of atmospheric and Earth System Sciences. This is achieved through dedicated mentorship, leadership development, and unique collaborative opportunities.
