The Center for Tree Science at The Morton Arboretum is soliciting proposals from Masters and PhD students for Graduate Student Research Fellowships for the summer of 2026. The goals of the summer graduate research fellowship are to enhance research activities at The Morton Arboretum and to build scientific collaborations between graduate students and Center for Tree Science staff. While applicants do not need to propose work directly connected with a given scientist’s research program, projects should be broadly aligned with and further the Arboretum’s mission and research priorities. Applicants may request up to $5,000 for research support and $10,000 for summer salary. The deadline for proposal submission is November 1, 2025. More information and application directions are found in this flyer.
Please pass this opportunity on to your students, departments, and colleagues.
