The Sabin Center encourages students to seek hands-on research and fieldwork opportunities in the environment and sustainability space, whether that’s faculty-led research or working with a government or NGO over a summer. If you have already identified an opportunity and require funding to support your efforts, or are searching for a summer position, we encourage you to explore our offerings.
Environment and Sustainability Fellowships
The Sabin Center partners with the Environment and Sustainability Studies (ENV) Program to fund rising juniors and seniors pursuing real-world environment and sustainability experience, including internships, research and fieldwork, or other hands-on learning opportunities in the environment and sustainability space.
City of Winston Salem Sustainability Fellowships
The Sabin Center offers fellowships with the City of Winston-Salem’s Office of Sustainability, where students can support the City’s core initiatives and programs. Students are not expected to have experience or expertise specific to the City’s initiatives or to governmental sustainability work more generally prior to applying.
Cassidy Coastal Conservation Fellowships
The Sabin Center supports students pursuing hands-on conservation work/research by covering hard costs associated with fieldwork, including faculty-led research projects. Our Cassidy Conservation Fellowships give priority to projects at Bald Head Island and the North Carolina coast, as well as Sabin Center Faculty Affiliates. Students and Faculty may apply year-round.
