PhD students that haven’t yet submitted their 2011 PERISHIP applications will want to get on board soon. The deadline to apply for the Dissertation Fellowship Program in Hazards, Risks, and Disasters is Monday, February 1, at 5 p.m. EST.
The program gives top PhD students up to $10,000 to help complete hazards dissertations in natural and physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, engineering, and interdisciplinary areas such as environmental studies.
The PERISHIP Fellowship is administered by a partnership between the Natural Hazards Center and the Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI) with funding from Swiss Re and the National Science Foundation. For more information on the program and application guidelines, visit the award website.
