National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)--Graduate Fellowships

The NCAR Advanced Study Program offers graduate fellowships that
support university Ph.D. thesis research conducted in collaboration
with NCAR scientists. Usually, these fellowships are restricted to 
research projects that require facilities or expertise available
at NCAR but not at the collaborating university.

Eligibility: The research project at NCAR must be supervised by
    jointly by a university faculty member and an NCAR scientist
    who agree to collaborate in this endeavor. Project must be 
    conducted mostly at NCAR (except when participation in observing
    programs requires residence elsewhere). For this to be possible
    course work and the comprehensive exam (or equivalent) at the 
    home university must be completed before the start of the 
    fellowship.

Contributions of the Fellow's Home University: The home university
    of the Fellow is expected to contribute by waiving or otherwise
    providing for the student's university tuition by making any
    faculty appointments meeded so that the NCAR scientist can be
    an official member of the student's advisory committee.

Stipend: The current annual stipend is $15,695. Some benefits are
    also provided, and some travel costs (normally less than $1200
    per year) are provided for travel between NCAR and the home 
    university and for travel to scientific meetings. An additional
    limited allowance is available to support moving to NCAR. Tuition
    is not supported by the fellowships, therefore alternate support 
    for tuition must be provided by the university or the Fellow. 

Deadline: Rolling application deadline. Applications should include: 
    (1) a brief scientific proposal (no to exceed 5 pages); (2) a
    proposed schedule for completion of the project (not to exceed
    2.5 years; (3) a list of requirements for any needed NCAR 
    facilities including computer support; (4) biographical information
    for the student that includes educational background and experience
    relevant to the proposed research; (5) supporting endorsements from
    the prospective research supervisors at the home university and at
    NCAR; (6) a transcript of graduate course work; and (7) the names
    of two references (other than university and NCAR advisors) whom 
    NCAR can contact as references.
