Congratulations to the 14 new Carson Earth, B2, Global Change, and REN scholars! View the "current scholars" page to find out who they are.
The Carson Scholars Program offers four different types of graduate fellowships, each worth $5,000. All recipients will become Carson Scholars, a growing group of distinguished interdisciplinary researchers with strong commitment to the environment and communication. In addition to the incentives and commitments of the individual program, Carson Scholars will benefit from an active network and special events and activities.
