IBES ENVS Summer Research & Internship Award

Currently Accepting Applications for Summer 2025

IBES has some funding available for substantive summer research and internship experiences in fields relevant to the Environmental Sciences and Studies (ENVS) concentration at Brown.  These awards are for ENVS concentrators who were not eligible to receive university funding, or whose applications for funding were not accepted (ie. LINK, UTRA, Royce, Voss). 

IBES Summer Internship Program

No Longer Accepting Applications for AY2024-2025

The Institute at Brown for Environment and Society has partnered with environmental organizations to offer paid summer internship experiences for Brown University undergraduate students. These awards allow students to explore career options and engage in experiential learning activities outside of the classroom. 

Please note - IBES will provide the intern with a stipend in place of a salary paid by the organization. In addition, a $2,900 Department Summer Earnings Waiver (DSEW) is provided for students who qualify.

This year IBES has partnered with Brown’s Center for Career Exploration to be part of their SPRINT (Short-term Projects for Research, Internships, and Teaching) program.  The expected benefits of becoming part of this umbrella group are increased exposure, more equity in financial awards, and providing strong pairings of students with community partners.  

Voss Fellows Program

No Longer Accepting Applications for AY2024-2025

The Voss Fellowship Program is the premier training and funding opportunity for undergraduates interested in environmental research at Brown University. Open to rising juniors and seniors (class of 2026) in any concentration, the fellowship awards a large stipend and provides research funds to support independent projects. Students from fields in STEM, the social sciences, and the humanities who wish to pursue research that addresses climate, environmental, or sustainability challenges are encouraged to apply.
