Who Should Apply?

PERC is seeking graduate or law students who are interested in natural resources and environmental issues and who show potential for research and writing in these areas. Preference is given to those who are working on a research paper, thesis, or dissertation on a natural resource or environmental topic. Successful graduate student candidates typically are working on a master's or PhD thesis on their proposed topic; law candidates most often are hoping to transform a paper they wrote for a class into a law review article.

What's in it for you?

• The opportunity to spend 3 months with experts in the free market environmentalism movement;
• Mentorship by internationally known scholars who are working on natural resource and environmental research topics themselves;
• Office space and support for completing a research project in an area of specific interest to you;
• A monthly stipend of $1,600 plus reasonable domestic round trip travel expenses to Montana.
