Switzer Environmental Fellowship

For over twenty years, the Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation has sponsored fellowships for environmental graduate students in New England and California. Each Fellowship award is $15,000 and represents an extraordinary opportunity for a few, select students. This year we will be selecting the twenty-second class of Switzer Fellows since the program was founded in 1986. The goal of the Switzer Foundation is to identify and nurture those individuals who have the ability and determination to make a significant and early impact on environmental quality. In addition to receiving financial assistance, Switzer Fellows become part of an alumni network (the Switzer Fellowship Network) of over 450 environmental professionals and past Fellows dedicated to environmental protection and improvement. The Switzer Fellowship Network is a highly respected resource locally, nationally and internationally for non-profit organizations, government agencies, and other entities. Bolstered by the Foundation’s long-term support, Switzer Fellows are using their expertise in natural and social sciences, business, law, and policy fields to sustain, restore, and steward our life support systems and create sustainable communities. In addition to the Fellowship award, Switzer Fellows gain access to other Switzer Foundation grant programs designed to advance their career development.
