Student Research Award

Sustainability Scholars is pleased to announce the first Sustainability Scholars Student research award! We will make two awards of $750 each for UF undergraduates conducting research on sustainability related topics during spring 2026. Students from all majors are eligible, as long as they are not graduating before spring 2026. The application requires a cover sheet, statement of commitment from a faculty mentor, and 500 word research proposal. Student winners will be expected to enroll in an independent study during spring 2026 to focus on their research with their faculty mentor. Winners will present their work at a sustainability student research  symposium in April 2026. The deadline is Nov. 1st.

Apply to earn $750 for your sustainability studies research! This award is open to all majors who are working on projects relevant to sustainability. Application is available here.
