Amount: Upper $40,000USD
These fellowships carry stipends of up to $40,000 or more if necessary; the amount of each award depends on the professional status and needs of the recipient and duration of the fellowship. Each fellow is allocated up to $500 in support for related supplies of their fellowship activities.
Costs specific to international scholars vary with the length of the fellowship but include visas (up to $1,500 per person), up to 14 percent income taxes, health insurance (approximately $2,000 for six months for an individual, or approximately $6,000 for six months for a family of three or more), and the travel to the United States for their families.
Fellowships may start at any time after September 1 and must be between 6 and 12 months in duration.
Eligibility
Bullard Fellowships are generally awarded to individuals in mid-career who have established themselves in academia, public service, or in the private sector. For those in academic careers, preference is ordinarily given to holders of doctoral degrees, but others whose projects show promise of important contributions to forestry and forest studies, broadly defined, will be considered in terms of the likelihood that study and research at Harvard will help fulfill this promise. Judgments of the Committee are based primarily on the quality of the applicant’s professional accomplishments, academic record, and potential benefits from interaction with the Harvard community and its institutional resources.
This is not a post-doctoral program; recent Ph.D. graduates are generally not appropriate candidates for a Bullard Fellowship.

Abstract
The fellowship program supports advanced research and study by individuals who show promise of making an important contribution, either as scholars or administrators, to forestry and forest-related subjects including biology, earth sciences, economics, politics, administration, philosophy, humanities, the arts, or law.
The fellowship program may make available to qualified individuals a wide range of opportunities for research in the several divisions of Harvard University. Research areas include, for example, forest ecology, tree physiology, forest soils, forest resource management, conservation and biodiversity issues, environmental policy, industrial ecological issues and management processes, forest land planning and public policy.
