*Re:* Travel Grants to visit the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M

*The Department of Entomology at Texas A&M is pleased to announce the
availability of travel grants for*

*prospective PhD students.* These travel grants, which will be awarded on a
competitive basis, will cover the

costs of a domestic flight to and from College Station, hotel
accommodations while in College Station, plus a *per*

*diem* for meals. The aim of the travel grant is to provide prospective PhD
students the opportunity to:

*• *Interview with faculty and meet current graduate students

*• *Tour the department and campus to learn about available resources and
facilities

*• *Explore College Station and its surrounding areas

*Travel grants will be awarded in early January with travel scheduled for
February 28 – March 2, 2024*. Travel grant awardees will spend time
together during their visit, thus gaining immediate insights into their
future cohort.

*Why should you consider obtaining a PhD at Texas A&M University?* The
Department of Entomology at

Texas A&M has more than one hundred years of rich history and it is the
largest Entomology program in the

United States. It has a strong mixture of nationally and internationally
recognized faculty members working on a

diverse range of basic and applied research, spanning genetics, genomics,
medical/veterinary entomology,

physiology, behavior, ecology, biocontrol, integrated pest management,
evolution, systematics, and urban

entomology (*to learn about our faculty visit**:*
http://entomology.tamu.edu/facultystaff/). Support for graduate

study is available through multiple sources, including departmental
research and teaching assistantships, as well

as from Fellowships linked to the Office of Graduate and Professional
Studies and the College of Agriculture and

Life Sciences. Texas A&M University is positioned in beautiful Blackland
Prairie and Post Oak Savannah habitat,

which supports a magnificent insect fauna and a wealth of research
opportunities. Its location also provides a

good base for access to a broad range of habitats and research sites.
Additionally, its close proximity to Austin,

Dallas, Houston and San Antonio offers a cultural component to a whole
graduate experience.
