Funding

InFEWS Stipend

A small number of stipends ($34k, plus tuition and fees) are available for select students, who are eligible under NSF rules (US citizen or permanent resident). The application for funding can be found in the application form for the InFEWS fellowship.

Current fellows who did not previously receive the stipend may submit an updated statement, in pdf, by the application deadline (Feb 10, 2020, 5pm) to infews@berkeley.edu and CC: pyael [at] berkeley.edu and agogino [at] berkeley.edu, with the subject line “Current InFEWS Fellow – Fellowship Application.” The updated statement should summarize your research interests and how you intend to focus your research at the nexus of food, water, and energy. It should additionally describe progress you have made in the prior year on these goals. Progress made may include any educational or employment background in issues related to development economics or development engineering. (500 word limit)

For further information, please contact Yael Perez at pyael@berkeley.edu
