The UBC Sustainability Hub invites you to submit a project proposal for the summer 2025 Sustainability Scholars program.
The Sustainability Scholars program provides graduate students and project partners a unique opportunity to co-investigate solutions to real-world sustainability problems.

Funding and work direction is provided by the partner organization, and the recruitment and logistics are handled by the UBC Sustainability Scholars Program Manager. This is a great opportunity to tap into the enthusiasm and expertise of a grad student to help advance some of your sustainability-related work! The proposal deadline for the summer 2025 program is November 15.
