Graduate Fellowships
The Society of Energy Fellows at MIT was established in 2008 with the generous support of MIT Energy Initiative Founding, Sustaining, and Associate Members to help MIT address the world’s energy challenges. Fellows are selected on the basis of keen interest in energy, excellent academic record, and promising future. In 2010, the Society numbers 87 students spanning twenty departments and all five MIT schools. Many are engaged in traditional energy fields in engineering and science; others are pursuing studies in energy economics and business, energy policy and politics, and the energy implications of urban planning and architecture. The Society fosters interaction among Fellows and between Fellows and their sponsors at MIT through a series of special events.
The Martin Family Society of Fellows for Sustainability, established at MIT in 1996 through the generous support of the Martin Family Foundation, fosters graduate level research, education, and collaboration in sustainability. The Society supports and connects MIT's top graduate students in environmental studies, and fosters opportunities for multi-disciplinary cooperation in both the short- and long-term. Martin Fellows investigate emerging issues in sustainability, exchange information, and participate in occasional seminars and an annual retreat. These activities support Fellows' development of the collaborative capacity that is critical to the successful implementation and application of sustainability scholarship.
