Water Resources Assistantship

The Water Resources Assistantship is made possible by support provided through the U.S. Geological Survey, the Mills Endowment and the National Institutes for Water Resources. It is aimed at supporting water resources related research addressing key water issues in Texas.

This assistantship is designed to support exceptional full-time Ph.D. students at Texas A&M University, who have completed a master’s and are conducting high-priority water-related research in the following priority focus areas:

  • Water security,
  • Reuse and conservation,
  • Technology and policy innovation, and
  • Integrated water resources management.

The annual assistantship provides a $25,000 stipend, benefits, tuition support up to $5,550 and discretionary funds of up to $2,500 for research-related expenses (i.e. supplies, publication costs, and travel).

Although the assistantship is for one-year of support, Ph.D. students may reapply each year for additional funding provided they meet the year two criteria indicated in the PDF on the right.
