The assistantships are 12-month assistantships in the amount of $18,000/year for 2 years (MS students) or $21,000/year for 3 years (PhD students). A full university tuition waiver is included, and full-time enrollment as a graduate student is required.
Please note that aspiring students will need to connect with a faculty advisor and be accepted into the Department’s Graduate Program in order to be eligible for the assistantship. Students that feel qualified for this award should consider mentioning it when communicating with potential faculty advisors.

Clubs
Natural Resources Graduate Student Association
Are you a graduate student interested in Natural Resources, Ecology, and/or the Environment?
The Natural Resource Graduate Student Association (NRGSA) was founded over ten years ago for the purpose of bringing together graduate students with an interest in Natural Resources for professional development (e.g., seminars, workshops), service to the community (e.g., donation drives, forest clean-ups), and social activities (e.g., social hours, camping, hiking, sporting events). We also provide travel awards to members in our organization as part of our dedication to professional development.
