UC Davis Institute of the Environment Scholars Program

Awards fellowships to UC Davis graduate students classified as “continuing students” in support of policy relevant research in one of the core Institute of the Environment initiatives which include: One Climate, Big Environmental Data, Wild Energy, and World Water Initiative; or Post Doc position (s) supporting One Climate Initiative.

Grad Student Applications that connect with One Climate Partners and coordinate with Institute of the Environment centers and groups will be given preference. Hands-on policy driven solutions are a key goal of our programs. Each student will be awarded $5000.00 for research, travel, and publication expenses. You will be paired up with an Institute of the Environment Fellow. Up to six Grad Student Scholarships will be awarded. Throughout the year you will get a chance to meet with communication experts to learn how to best translate your science to the public. Each awardee is expected to present their progress to the public at an event at year’s end.
