The GSS Fellows program offers a 10-week paid immersive training and mentoring with a global sustainability organization. Fellows will gain professional work experience, receive professional mentorship and professional development training, and build an international professional network in sustainability science. 

Fellows will work with sustainability organizations such as Belmont Forum research projects or Future Earth projects focused on OCEAN sustainability. Fellows are paid a stipend of $8,000 for their full participation in the program. 

This program is geared for graduate students in sustainability fields who have completed their bachelor’s degree in the past four years.

In addition, applicants should be able to articulate their understanding of how equity and inclusion interests intersect the success of sustainability solutions across the globe. Strong candidates must also be able to travel (if applicable this year), be open to learning leadership and professional development skills, and be committed to mentoring undergraduates from underrepresented in the field.
