GLORIA Great Basin Peak Opportunity Fellowships

Description
GLORIA Great Basin surveys have long been an amazing opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain invaluable field experience in botany and field ecology while making connections with their peers and professionals in nonprofits, academia, and in state and federal agencies. GLORIA Great Basin also recognizes that there are students who face barriers which exclude them from research opportunities, especially for opportunities in remote mountains that pose the unique challenges of transportation, field gear, and time. Through our Peak Opportunity Fellowships, GLORIA Great Basin will fully support up to three students (upper-division undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, or graduate students) to join us in our surveys in the White Mountains this summer. We will provide the successful applicants with transportation, field gear, room and board, a $850 stipend (for 7 days) and mentorship (e.g., facilitating networking, providing guidance on job applications, etc.).
Applications for the 2025 Peak Opportunities Fellowships are now open!
The deadline to apply is April 1st, 2025.
