<h1>
	Applying to be an Au Sable Graduate Fellow</h1>
<p>
	The Au Sable Graduate Fellows program is open to graduate students (Masters and Ph.D.) in the biological, ecological, or environmental fields. &nbsp;Graduate students in other fields who have a research focus in a topic related to Christian environmental stewardship may also apply. &nbsp;We currently have chapters at eight universities: &nbsp;Cornell University, Michigan State University, Ohio State University, Penn State University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin - Madison, and Yale University. &nbsp;Applications from graduate students at these universities will be received by October 10 (Fall term) and February 10 (Winter term). &nbsp;Graduate students at other institutions may apply with permission of the Au Sable Graduate Fellows coordinator (Dr. Rolf Bouma -- rbouma@umich.edu).</p>
<p>
	If appointed as an Au Sable Graduate Fellow, the appointment continues for the duration of one&#39;s graduate program (one does not need to apply again each year). &nbsp;The application process requires an information form, a concise essay, two letters of recommendation, a CV/resume, and unofficial transcripts for the past two years. &nbsp;These should be submitted, if possible, electronically, to Rolf Bouma (rbouma@umich.edu).</p>
