Ecolab Student-Initiated Sustainability Leadership Projects
These scholarships support students who need funding to free themselves up to spend time leading projects to address environmental grand challenges. Projects can be led on or off campus, but student applicants must identify a UMN Faculty or staff person who is able to serve as project advisor. The project advisor will be asked to provide guidance to the student during the project and complete a brief evaluation of the student’s project.
*Due to COVID-19, all Spring 2021 projects must be conducted remotely.
