Earth Systems Public Service Fellowships

Through the Earth Systems Public Service Fellowship, a Cardinal Quarter opportunity, students apply what they have learned through interdisciplinary environmental studies through an internship at a nonprofit organization or government agency. Fellows can expand on an experience started through a course, internship, research or volunteer activity by continuing with an existing partner organization, or they can identify another relevant organization. The focus of the fellow's work should foster growth as an interdisciplinary environmental scholar and problem-solver within the public service arena. Earth Systems Public Service Fellows spend the summer working full-time for nine weeks with a supervisor/mentor in a domestic U.S. community organization of their choice. 

Each Earth Systems Public Service Fellow receives a base stipend of $7000 to support travel and living expenses during the fellowship. Financial aid and supplemental funding are available to students who qualify.
