University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Earth System Science, Diversity & Inclusion, and Public Policy Fellowships

Each year UCAR selects three graduate students for fellowship tracks in Earth System Science, Diversity & Inclusion, and Public Policy. The Next Generation Fellowships offer graduate students the opportunity to learn alongside leaders in their fields. Just as important, these programs bring an infusion of fresh ideas and new perspectives to our organization. Each two-year award provides financial support for graduate school and two summer visits. The UCAR Next Generation Fellowships offer three distinct tracks: Earth System Science, Diversity & Inclusion, and Public Policy. Each fellow receives $40,000  no-strings-attached stipend 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.
