Voss Undergraduate Research Fellowships in Environmental Science and Communication
Voss Fellowships offer distinguished opportunities for undergraduates interested in environmental research at Brown, offering awardees a large stipend and additional funds for related expenses. They are open to rising seniors in any concentration who intend to pursue a summer project that will become the framework for their honors thesis.
Voss Fellows receive science communication training and professional development opportunities throughout their senior year. Toward the end of the academic year, they present their research findings during a poster session open to the community.
