Dear Students,

Since 2000, National Wildlife Federation has awarded over 150 Campus Ecology Fellowships to undergrad and graduate students across the country working on climate action projects on their campuses and in their communities. This year we are expanding our Fellowship offering by not only supporting students but also opening the opportunity to young professional, emerging leaders looking to further develop their career and leadership opportunities in the conservation movement.

Calling all young environmental leaders - current college students and post-grad young professionals!

Are you looking to take your environmental leadership to the next level?

IF YOU ARE A CURRENT UNDERGRAD/GRAD STUDENT AND WILL STILL BE STARTING FALL 2013, APPLY FOR THE CAMPUS ECOLOGY FELLOWSHIP:

NWF’s Campus Ecology Fellows confront climate change on their campuses and help to educate and engage the campus community on climate action solutions. Monetary fellowship grants are awarded to undergraduate and graduate students working with members of the faculty, staff, or administration on projects designed to help bring climate action on campus and beyond. In addition to a modest grant, Fellows also receive project support, leadership development, recognition of their accomplishments and other perks.

IF YOU ARE A SENIOR OR YOUNG PROFESSIONAL AND WILL NOT BE IN SCHOOL STARTING FALL 2013, APPLY FOR THE EMERGING LEADERS FELLOWSHIP:

New in 2013, we are offering an Emerging Leaders Fellowship track which will offer Fellowships to post-graduate, young professionals (ages 21-35) interested in career development and leadership opportunities within the conservation movement. The program is an extension of NWF’s successful Campus Ecology Fellows Program. Throughout the fellowship term, selected applicants will be provided with leadership opportunities through NWF and our state affiliates, seed funding for their entrepreneurial efforts, additional leadership and skills trainings, and a diverse support network of peers and mentors. 2013 is the inaugural year of this Fellowship program.

National Wildlife Federation is currently accepting applications for both our Campus Ecology Fellowships (open to current undergrad and graduate students) as well as our NEW Emerging Leader Fellowships (open to young professionals age 21-35).

Fellows will have the unique opportunity to work with one of four of NWF’s crucial “Keep the Wild Alive” campaigns:

· Stopping Expansion of Dirty Energy

· Safeguarding Wildlife and Habitat in the Appalachian Forests

· Protecting Wildlife in Urban and Suburban Habitats

· Clean Energy Solutions

Please visit www.nwf.org/Fellows to learn more and access application materials

Don’t delay! Applications are due March 31st!

Thanks and Good Luck!!
