  1.  University of Minnesota – Bayer Graduate Student Fellowship Program

The Bayer Crop Science/University of Minnesota Multifunctional Agriculture Initiative is seeking applications for graduate student fellowships sponsored by Bayer Crop Science. The program will provide funding for four premier-level Graduate Research Assistantships, each for a period of three years, in any of the research priority areas listed below. In addition to tuition, fees, research funding, and stipend, this program provides a unique opportunity for the Fellows to discuss their research ideas and progress, and learn about career opportunities in industry with Bayer employees from different parts of the company. The fellows will interact with Bayer at in-person events in St. Louis and on the University of Minnesota Campus, as well as through personal mentoring by Bayer scientists. In addition, the Fellows will collaborate on a cohort project that provides the opportunity to participate in dialogue on important issues facing today’s food and agriculture system and the opportunity to encourage development of the “soft skills” needed to be an effective member of a research and development team.

Additional information about the application materials, due dates, etc. can be found in the attached document.

  1.  FASFA Application is LIVE

FASFA application opened on October 1st, 2020 and will be open for priority deadline until March 1st, 2021. All students are encouraged to fill out FASFA because there are many scholarships that utilize FASFA file to determine scholarship eligibility.

  1.  Priority Registration

Priority registration begins starting in November. Please view your UAccess for a firm date on when your registration begins. I encourage all students to check-in with me to review their schedule for next semester. You can attend my drop-in hours, schedule an appointment, or send me your schedule to review it, however, a quick drop-in would most likely be the best option if you want me to review your schedule rather than having back and forth emails. If you have a lot of schedule questions then I encourage an appointment. Having me review your schedule at least two weeks in advance to your registration is a best practice to be prepared. Also, don’t forget if you are having difficulties in any particular classes I’m happy to talk through different study strategies or options that might better support you.

ASEMS fosters a culture of inclusive excellence at the University of Arizona by empowering STEM students with the tools necessary to succeed while recognizing their unique backgrounds and assets.

The University of Arizona sits on the original homelands of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university’s core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture, and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be practice in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.
