The Comer Climate Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship supports Columbia College students participating in summer research projects related to climate, sustainability and environmental justice. First-generation, low-income and/or underrepresented students are particularly encouraged to apply. The fellowship seeks to create meaningful new research opportunities, with the ultimate goal of encouraging a more diverse community of students who seek to pursue graduate study or professional engagement in climate related fields.
On-campus housing will be provided, along with a living stipend. For qualified students the fellowship will also provide a grant that will replace a student's summer work expectation (student contribution).
ELIGIBILITY
- First, second or third year students in Columbia College;
- Major or intended major in a field related to sustainability or climate;
- Willingness to devote 10 weeks to a full-time, in-person, on campus research opportunity, starting at the start of Summer Session A. (This opportunity is not compatible with other commitments such as coursework or a job.)
