The Field Museum offers a limited number of fellowships to graduate students engaged in dissertation research associated with the museum. These fellowships provide a stipend and limited funds for research and travel. We typically award fellowships each year, in the amount of $45,000 for 1 year plus $5000 in research funding.
Fellows must also have completed their preliminary examinations. Previous fellowship recipients are not eligible for a second scholarship. Applicants must be enrolled in a PhD program, live in the Chicagoland region, and be formally involved with the Museum.
Fellowships
- Armour Graduate Fellowship: Open to any student enrolled in a PhD program who has completed their qualifying exams and meets the above eligibility requirements.
- Brown Graduate Fellowship: The Brown Graduate Fellowship is for students enrolled in the Committee on Evolutionary Biology (CEB) training program at the University of Chicago, and this stipend is restricted to US citizens who have completed their qualifying exams.
- Women in Science Graduate Fellowship: Sponsored by the Field Museum’s Women’s Board, the Women in Science Graduate Fellowship awards a female graduate student who has completed her qualifying exams.
