Rieser Fellowship

 

www.thebulletin.org/programs/rieser-fellowship.html

 

The Rieser Fellowship annually provides one-time awards of $2,500–$5,000 to between three and five undergraduate students seeking to explore the connections between science, technology, global security, and public policy. The Bulletin will present the fellowship to students whose academic interests, extracurricular activities, and career aspirations demonstrate a significant interest in the role of scientists in formulating public policy and in addressing global security policy challenges.

The fellowship may be used over the course of one year to support academic research or professional development, either in the United States or abroad. The fellowship will be paid in two equal installments—one made at the commencement of the fellowship and the second following the submission of a project report and receipts. The fellowship may be used for the following purposes:To provide a stipend for an otherwise unpaid full-time internship To underwrite the cost of travel or transportation that supports academic research To provide for housing or a per diem for out-of-town research
To underwrite the registration and travel costs of professional conferences where the fellow presents academic research To underwrite the production costs of a special project such as laboratory work or a documentary film
