Other Student Opportunities

Taylor-Wei Dissertation Fellowship

This award, named in honor of the scientific achievements of Dr. Ronald C. Taylor and Dr. Ming-Ying Wei, consists of a $30,000 stipend for one year of research and writing on any topic related to the history of meteorology, climate science, and/or technologies related to those fields, broadly construed. 

University of Oklahoma’s History of Science Collections Library has a special travel grant program funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation that can help pay travel costs for people who wish to use our collections and other campus resources. A recipient of a Taylor-Wei award doesn’t have to be in residence at OU, but they often wish to come for a few weeks to do some research and give a talk based on their research, and the Mellon grant can cover those costs.

If anyone has questions about the award, please feel free to contact Dr. Hunter Heyck, Professor, Department of History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, University of Oklahoma, [email protected], 405-556-1145 (M). The department site is https://www.ou.edu/cas/hsci
