The Loomis Fellowship is given to students who are conducting plant science research on agricultural crops focusing on one or more of the following areas: crop ecology, bioclimatology, modeling of crop growth, and physiological processes governing crop yield. The Krantz Fellowship is given to U.S. citizens pursuing a graduate degree in the fields of land and water resources or plant sciences as related to production agriculture, and who have demonstrated a commitment to pursue work in the area of agricultural development.
