Ruth and George Bartholomew Endowment for Graduate Student Fellowship in Field Biology:
Generously endowed by Ruth Bartholomew and George Bartholomew, our distinguished Professor Emeritus, the
George Bartholomew Field Biology Fellowship provides a
summer fellowship and research support for the top advanced graduate student in ecology, evolutionary biology,
and/or conservation biology whose research has a significant field component.
Ruth Bulpitt Adams Memorial Fund in Biology: Supports
outstanding undergraduates in biology. Donations to this fund will go toward the area of greatest need in
undergraduate support, currently supporting fellowships for students who want to take field biology and
marine biology courses. Outstanding undergraduates who want to participate in these courses, but require
financial assistance, will benefit from this fund. Help make our life-changing capstone Field Biology Quarters and Marine Biology Quarters accessible to UCLA
undergraduates by donating to support them.
Biology Endowment:
Under the oversight of the Chair, this unrestricted fund helps our students get to the field so that they can
explore the diversity of life. Your donation to this fund will make awards possible to graduate students whose
research requires travel to sites throughout the world. These funds are also used to provide a Chair's Graduate Student Fellowship. Each year the top one
or two applicants to the PhD graduate program are awarded the Chair's fellowship. This fellowship guarantees
summer support in the first two years and fellowship support while they are working on their dissertation.
This fellowship attracts the best and brightest to UCLA; many of our applicants have competitive offers from
other top-ranked programs. It also provides exceptional students an outstanding support package to pursue their PhD at UCLA.
