Tuition, salary/stipend
* $30,000 stipend per tenure year
* $10,500 cost-of-education allowance per tenure year

Funding for continuation of a fellowship is limited.

Travel expenses may not include airfare. Awardees are expected to be in residence for some part of their research at the Station so they can interact with other researchers and students.

Delta will reimburse up to $400 each way for travel to your field site. Any non-expendable equipment purchased with Delta funds becomes the property of Delta; however, such equipment remains the student’s responsibility until the study is completed. Housing expenses should be included in your budget. All students living at remote field sites are responsible for providing housing for themselves and their assistants out of their project budget. All students living at the Minnedosa Field Station and Delta Waterfowl and Wetlands Station are responsible for paying rent for themselves and their assistants out of their project budget. Rent at the Field Station is $75 per person per month.

Students must specify any other sources of funding that have been received or applied for, including teaching or research assistantships, scholarships, fellowships. Delta can rarely cover the full cost of a graduate student. Funds are normally advanced directly to the student, who is then responsible for record-keeping and detailed accounting of all expenditures. Delta will not pay overhead, so funds can be advanced to universities only after assurance that all funds will be directed towards the student project.

Tuition, registration fees, health insurance, travel, and research-related expenses.
Awards are contingent on matching support from the student's home department and/or faculty advisor(s).

The educational institution attended by the applicant must not require or allow a grant to be turned over to the institution or decrease any funding or other benefit received by the applicant if a grant is awarded.
Candidates for Master's or equivalent degrees may receive a maximum of one grant, and Ph.D. candidates may receive a maximum of two grants. No more than two grants will be awarded to any one applicant during their graduate education.

Requests for funding to purchase equipment that should normally be available through college or university laboratories will not be granted.
