In 1976, the Feris Foundation of America established the Gallatin Fellowships in honor of Geneva native and distinguished U.S. statesman Albert Gallatin to support advanced doctoral candidates in international studies to complete their studies either at the Graduate Institute for International Studies (for U.S. students) or at an appropriate U.S. university (for Graduate Institute students). The terms of the Gallatin fellowship are as follows: a stipend of $26,000 (US) for the academic year as well as free trans-Atlantic travel (one round-trip). U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled in a U.S. doctoral institution are eligible to use the Gallatin Fellowship to study at the Graduate Institute while doctoral candidates at the Graduate Institute are eligible to use the Fellowship to study at an appropriate US institution. The Gallatin Fellowship is intended for advanced work on the doctoral dissertation in the broad field of international affairs and is open as to discipline.

University of California White Mountain Research Station Graduate Student Research Minigrant Program
Length: One year
Applicants may be part of a faculty member's research project or team, but the project should be independent from that of the senior research worker. University faculty members are intended to direct the research of the student, but it is expected that students will submit for publication a single- or senior-author manuscript from their WMRS-supported research with WMRS in the by-line. Awardees are expected to be in residence for some part of their research at the Station so they can interact with other researchers and students. Awardees are also strongly encouraged to participate in a public outreach activity to share their research at the annual WMRS open house or seminar.
