BBISS GRA Scholars Group PhotoThe Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) Fellowship for Sustainability Research Program is recruiting PhD-seeking students of exceptional potential from a diversity of backgrounds and intellectual interests for our second class of fellows. With the support of a faculty advisory board, the fellows will work, study, and train as an interdisciplinary team on a program of research that aligns with the priorities of the BBISS and contributes to their personal development as future leaders in sustainability.
This fellowship pays a stipend, graduate student health benefits, and tuition remission for up to two full years. It is expected that 6 to 8 fellows will be selected for the program each academic year. The first class of 7 fellows was selected in Spring 2021 and began the program in Fall 2021.
To apply, students must be nominated by a faculty member from the Georgia Tech academic unit in which they are enrolled in the PhD program or to which they are applying for acceptance to the PhD program. The nominating faculty member will serve as the
student’s faculty advisor, and commits to serving on the BBISS Graduate Fellowship Faculty Advisory Board. Nomination packets should be submitted by April 15, 2022.
Please help spread the word. Share this opportunity widely with faculty and students.
