The first-ever cohort to receive the Stella M. Hammond Planetary Solutions Fellowship will have twelve students selected from an exceptionally competitive pool of applicants.
Introducing the Inaugural YPS Doctoral Fellowship Cohort
The fellowship supports students advancing the YPS mission to catalyze all that Yale is, and all that Yale does in pursuit of planetary solutions. The participants’ (YPS Doctoral Fellows) research interests and perspectives are diverse, bringing exciting opportunities for trans-disciplinary collaboration.
Over the course of the two-year fellowship, the cohort, which consists of 11 PhD students and one professional school student, will build community, learn together, and make positive impacts across a wide range of challenges. YPS Doctoral Fellows receive a supplemental stipend and research funding as well as trainings in areas such as leadership, grants management, systems thinking, and more. YPS, in partnership with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, is proud to offer this unique opportunity.
