IBES Summer Internship Program

Accepting Applications Dec 17 - Feb 02

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.  Click here to apply.
