The Tamara Reeme Fellowship is for students whose educational focus aligns with the Behavior, Education, and Communication or Environmental Policy and Planning programs. This fellowship was made possible by a SEAS alumna with the goal to assist exceptional students in these fields of study.

Tamara Reeme is a 1983 BS alum who established the fellowship because she had such a wonderful experience at SEAS and is in a position to help students.

Eligibility: SEAS students from all degrees and fields of study are welcome to apply. The donor gives preference to BEC or EPP students.
