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.

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.
