The AMS Graduate Fellowship in the History of Science, administered by the American Meteorological Society (AMS), provides a year of support for research contributing to the completion of a dissertation. Its focus is specifically the history of atmospheric sciences or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences, rather than research in those scientific fields more broadly.
The fellowship is part of the Society’s wider program of graduate fellowships and undergraduate scholarships, supported by AMS members, corporations, and government agencies. That program furthers the education of outstanding students pursuing careers in atmospheric and related oceanic or hydrologic sciences. Within this educational effort, the History of Science fellowship provides dedicated support for historical dissertation research.
