The Denning Global Fellows in Sustainable Development Program supports field research for current Columbia undergraduates studying sustainable development, either as a major or as a special concentration. This field research may take the form of actual fieldwork, unpaid research assistantships, study abroad opportunities*, theses, senior seminar projects, or independent studies. Funding will only be awarded for activities that explicitly fulfill degree requirements, and/or further an individual’s studies in sustainable development. Ideally, fieldwork should provide an opportunity to conduct research and hone practical skills in data collection, analysis, and project management. Awards will vary in amount according to individual project needs. Current full-time Columbia students in the Undergraduate Program in Sustainable Development are eligible, provided they are in good academic standing. Learn more about previous Global Fellows here.
Awards will vary in amount according to individual project needs. Funding will only be awarded for fieldwork explicitly related a recipient’s degree requirements or that furthers his or her studies in the Program in Sustainable Development.
