INSTAAR

The Sarah Crump Graduate Fellowship Fund provides fellowship support for a CU Boulder graduate student whose research is centered on processes or climate history central to understanding high-latitude or high-altitude environments.

The late Sarah Crump was a paleoclimate scientist who studied past climate change in Arctic and alpine settings to better understand how our environment might change as Earth warms in the coming decades. Sarah was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, and she passed away in 2022, only 3 years after earning her PhD at CU Boulder. Sarah was immensely important to INSTAAR, CU Boulder, and many other communities. With her help, INSTAAR established a fellowship in her name just a few days before she passed.

Please help us raise an endowment sufficient to support a full-year Graduate Research Fellowship, providing salary and tuition for one CU Boulder graduate student each year. The fellowship will give a boost to their study of Earth or environmental science in the Arctic, Antarctic, or alpine regions and be a lever for equity and underserved communities.
