Fellowships for Graduate Students in Wildlife Ecology and Related Areas $1,300/month MS; $1,400/month PhD; + other

Students receiving full-time scholarships from the Foundation are precluded from any other form of assistance for those months they receive our scholarship support. Neither does the Foundation pay scholarship funds for those months when and if students are fulfilling teaching assignments with remuneration.
Funds for equipment and supplies are allocated sparingly, and careful advance planning for them is necessary. Smaller grants also are made for partial support of cooperative projects. In no instance shall the Foundation pay overhead or indirect costs to the parent university.
Travel will be allocated at a maximum of $1,200 per year, or pro-rated at $100/month based upon the number of months the student is doing field work. The student's major professor is encouraged to travel to the project study area at least once, and one trip may be budgeted, this not to exceed $500. All Welder Fellowship recipients are encouraged to present the results of their field research at appropriate professional meetings. The Foundation will reimburse the student for travel to one (1) professional meeting if the student presents a paper at that meeting.
The Foundation desires to promote fellow publications. Page charges are ordinary costs of research and are becoming very expensive. The student should not budget page charges in requests for funds. These funds will be provided when evidence of acceptance of the paper is received at the Foundation, and when a Welder contribution number has been provided for the paper. The paper must have a Welder contribution number to be eligible for page charges. All articles resulting from work supported by the Foundation (feature articles and notes) must have a Welder number. Support of publications will be limited to a period of four years after the student has filed a thesis or dissertation.

October
Graduate Student Support $1,300/month + $400 for travel costs

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.
