The Switzer Foundation is now accepting applications for 2025 Switzer Environmental Fellowships! Switzer Fellowships are given to graduate students in New England and California who demonstrate outstanding leadership potential and are committed to a career in environmental improvement.

Please help us spread the word about this opportunity by sharing with your networks!

The Switzer Fellowship includes:

• A one-year $17,000 unrestricted cash award;
• Two multi-day leadership training and cohort-building retreats;
• Access to other grant programs and career support; and
• Engagement with the Switzer Network, an active community of 700+ environmental leaders in the U.S. and around the world.

Switzer Fellows bring a variety of backgrounds and life experiences to their work. Students of color, first-generation college and graduate students, and students from groups traditionally underrepresented in environmental graduate programs are strongly encouraged to apply. Please see the 2024 Switzer Fellow profiles for examples of the breadth of topics and expertise of Switzer Fellows.

The application deadline is January 6, 2025 at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard time. The fellowship program guidelines contain links to the application form and instructions.
