PART 1 -- Application Guidelines

The Environmental Studies' Psi Upsilon and Logan Environmental Fellowship Program place ES majors in stipended summer internships, as rising juniors and seniors and also graduating seniors. The ES Program coordinates the 10-week internships, working with Maine non-profit organizations and governmental agencies. In 2008, five positions are available with a $4000 stipend each.

Students who participate in the Psi U Fellowship Program are eligible for Bowdoin College's summer housing.

Requirements: Interest in environmental issues, academic record and financial need are all important criteria, though students not receiving aid are eligible if a paying summer job is a necessity. Preference is given to ES majors, specifically rising juniors and seniors.

Students selected for one of the fellowships will then be interviewed by a host organization. In consultation with the host organizations, fellowship placements will be offered in early to mid-April.
