AMS Graduate Fellowship in the History of Science

Scholarship Sponsored by American Meteorological Society

Value: $20,000.00
Awards Available: 1

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is pleased to invite applications for the AMS Graduate Fellowship in the History of Science, to be awarded to a student in the process of completing a dissertation on the history of the atmospheric, or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences.

The Society encourages applications from women, minorities, and disabled students, traditionally underrepresented in the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences.

Goal

The goal of the graduate fellowship is to support dissertation topics in the history of the atmospheric, or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences, and to foster close working relations between historians and scientists. An effort will be made to place the student into a mentoring relationship.

Stipend

The Fellowship carries a $20,000 stipend and will support one year of dissertation research. Fellowships cannot be deferred and must be used for the year awarded, but can be used to support research at a location away from the student’s institution, provided the plan is approved by the student’s thesis advisor.

Additional Information

The fellowship will support free membership during the year awarded.  The recipient of this fellowship will be invited to the AMS Annual Meeting, one year after the year awarded, and is required to present research at the History Symposium during the annual meeting.  Abstract submission fee will be waived.

Eligibility Criteria

To apply, the candidate must be a graduate student in good standing proposing to complete a dissertation as described above. Candidates must be pursuing a degree at a U.S. institution. Past applicants who were not previously awarded are welcomed to apply. To apply, candidates must complete the following:

  • a cover letter with vita
  • official transcripts from undergraduate and graduate institutions
  • a typewritten, detailed description of the dissertation topic and proposed research plan (10 page maximum)
  • three letters of recommendation (including one from your dissertation advisor)

Application Procedures

All required application materials must be uploaded.  Applicants are responsible for keeping time to ensure that all application tasks are complete in order to submit the application for consideration by the deadline date!  Applications will not submit if all stages are not complete.
