HMEI Graduate Research Awards — Call for Applications
The High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI) is inviting applications for graduate research fellowships and awards in the areas of climate change, environmental policy, water issues and other pressing environmental topics. Our awards are open to Princeton Ph.D. candidates in all departments.
Climate and Environmental Sciences and Engineering Fellowship (HMEI-CESEn): Application Deadline April 1
The two-year Climate and Environmental Sciences and Engineering Fellowship (HMEI-CESEn) funds Ph.D. candidates in science, engineering, and other academic disciplines who add an environmental and/or climate-focused science/engineering dimension to their doctoral research. HMEI-CESEn Fellowships provide opportunities for students to develop research projects and technical expertise in environmental and climate sciences/engineering by working with an HMEI-affiliated faculty. Awarded students receive half support (tuition and stipend) from HMEI for two years and receive a $3,500 award to support their graduate research. Interested students can apply through the website.
Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy Fellowship (HMEI-STEP): Application Deadline Extended April 8
The two-year Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy Fellowship (HMEI-STEP) enables participating graduate students to explore the environmental policy dimensions of their doctoral research. Students who complete the requirements of the HMEI-STEP fellowship are awarded a Graduate Certificate in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs in addition to receiving a degree from the department in which the student is enrolled. HMEI offers half financial support for two years (stipend and tuition). Support is generally awarded in the second and third years of the student’s Ph.D. tenure. HMEI-STEP Fellows also receive a $3,500 award to support their graduate research. Interested students can apply through the website.
Hack Award for Water and the Environment: Application Deadline April 1
The Hack Award for Water and the Environment provides up to $8,000 in research funding to graduate students pursuing innovative research on water and water-related topics with implications for the environment, including projects related to climate science, engineering and environmental policy. Interested students can apply through Student Activities Funding Engine (SAFE).
Princeton Energy and Climate Scholars (PECS): Application Deadline Extended April 15
Princeton Energy and Climate Scholars (PECS) is a two-year faculty-guided and student-governed fellowship program that supports Princeton graduate students from all disciplines who engage in intellectual exploration within the broad area of climate and energy. Scholars participate in informal student discussions, fellow-faculty dinners and group projects; fellows may apply for up $1,000 to support research and professional development. Interested students can apply through the website.
