In 2019, ICRS will again be offering six Graduate Fellowships for research on Coral Reef Ecosystems, two of which will be reserved for students coming from developing countries in different parts of the world. The fellowships are available to students who are either student or full members of ICRS, and are already admitted to a Masters or PhD program at an accredited University or College. The fellowships provide funding (currently US $2,500 per award) which may be used to cover the costs of fieldwork, or of 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). The funding is not available for use after a student has submitted their thesis, nor to cover the costs of attendance at a Conference.
Specifications for the 2019 application round may be downloaded here: ICRS Graduate Fellowship Applications 2019. Applications for the 2019 grants should be submitted by 11th March, with the successful candidates expected to be made known by the end of April.
