Al Moseman International Studies Fellowship

The purpose of this fellowship is to reward students for their past contributions and provide incentive for excellence in future endeavors and to enhance the educational experience of our graduate students, giving attention to teaching as well as other competencies.

The fellowship will provide a $1,200 award to either M.S. or Ph.D. students.

Guidelines for the Al Moseman International Studies fellowship:

Full-time graduate students enrolled in any major in IANR, with preference to agronomy graduate students and priority to those studying plant breeding.
Interests in international agriculture as it relates to world food development.
Students currently on either research or teaching assistantships are eligible (minimum 0.33 FTE). The fellowship does not require that a student be on a teaching assistantship.
A student is limited to one CASNR Fellowship (Milton E. Mohr/Farmers National/Cooper Sharpless/etc.) per degree (e.g. 1/MS and 1/PhD) per academic year.
Students must be nominated by their advisor or Unit Graduate Committee Chair.
Unit administrators must rank the nominees on the form if 2 or more students are nominated (with no more than a total of 4 nominations for the CASNR Fellowships), approved by both the Chair of the Unit Graduate Committee or the Unit Administrator. Rankings will be considered as informational to the selection committee. All nominees from a unit will be considered by the selection committee, independent of unit ranking.
The $1,200 stipend will be distributed on an academic-year basis (half in the fall and half in the spring semesters, or paid through payroll if not a citizen) and are to be an additional stipend over and above the regular assistantship rate for the student’s academic unit. This is not to be used in lieu of other dollars which the unit would otherwise allocate to the recipient’s assistantship.

Required Supporting Materials:

A 2-page resume (maximum. Include relevant teaching experience), transcripts and
one supporting letter documenting the candidate’s previous teaching experience or teaching interest are required for each nominee.
