Tomorrow Ph.D. Fellowships
The Utah State University (USU) Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) is pleased
to offer Tomorrow Ph.D. Fellowships to support research related to SDL’s
strategic science and technology interests. It is open to students in the colleges
of engineering, science, natural resources and agriculture. Each fellowship
carries either an annual stipend of $30,000 and is renewable for up to three
years or an annual stipend of $25,000 for up to four years. The type of fellowship
is determined by qualifications and negotiation with supervising professor and
