Ecolab Scholarships for Undergraduate Leadership Program
Ecolab Sustainability Scholarships are available for students who demonstrate financial need who also apply for the IonE Undergraduate Leadership Program. The leaders will work on projects that are related to the IonE Environment’s Impact Goals around sustainable land use, clean drinking water, and building a carbon neutral future. Applicants are encouraged to indicate their first and second choices among the existing projects listed on the IonE Undergraduate Leaders website to work during the academic year. Students may also propose their own projects within the scope of IonE impact goals. We welcome students to work in groups as well as individually.
Students applying for Ecolab Scholarships should be able to start their project in the Fall of 2021 and be able to complete it by May 2022. Selected applicants will be supported through the IonE Undergraduate Leaders program with monthly cohort meetings, and periodic coaching meetings with the program team during the 2021-2022 academic year.
