>>**UPDATED 30 JUNE 1998 - see new interest for G. May**
>>>Please advertise, post or inform individuals of this opportunity:
>>>>DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY
>>>>The Plant Biological Sciences graduate program at the University of
>>Minnesota will award USDA National Needs Fellowships for doctoral students
>>interested in Plant Biotechnology. The Fellowship awards provide an annual
>>stipend of $17,000 for 3 years plus tuition waiver beginning September
>>1999. An additional 2 years of support will be available. Applicants must
>>be US citizens or US nationals and have an interest in training and a
>>career in some aspect of plant biotechnology. Women and minorities are
>>encouraged to apply. Completed applications must be received by December
>>15, 1998.
