The objective of the Stefansson Fellowship is to provide opportunities for younger scholars to acquire field experience under Arctic conditions and to carry out research projects that would not be feasible on the basis of library research alone. The program is open to upper-division undergraduate students, graduate students, recent graduates, young professionals, and California Conservation Corps members.
Admission is competitive.
Limited financial assistance may be available in special cases. Applications must be postmarked by February 15, 2001. In addition, each intern is assigned a specific research project, under the supervision of a University of Alaska Department of Biology and Wildlife faculty member or research associate. For more information, check out the LARS website . A tour of the facility will include talking with scientists about their projects, getting a glimpse into America's largest freezers, and hearing about research opportunites.
