Graduate Fellowships are up to US$2,500, which may be used to cover the costs of fieldwork, or visiting another laboratory, in order to obtain results that are to be included within a thesis submitted for a research degree (e.g. PhD, MPhil, or MSc by research). Recipients are expected to prepare reports on their progress for publication in Reef Encounter. Additional information regarding ICRS Graduate Research Fellowships may be found here.
