Apply for a Fellowship

The National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Fellows confront global warming on their campuses and help to educate and engage the campus community on global warming impacts and solutions.

NWF Fellowships allow students to pursue their vision of an ecologically sustainable future through tangible projects to confront global warming on campus and in the community. Fellows gain practical experience in the conservation field and first-hand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities inherent in successful conservation efforts.
 

How to Apply

For 2010, the Campus Ecology Program is taking a new approach to our Fellowships. We are offering a number of Campus Ecology Program initiative-based Fellowships in which the Fellows will work directly with Campus Ecology staff on some of our most important initiatives.

Gain professional experience, learn more about the youth climate movement and help be the change. Apply today!
