Undergraduate students from any discipline may apply for one of more than 100 environmental/sustainability-related High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI) summer internships comprising research apprenticeships with Princeton faculty or other select mentored positions. Students may also seek funding for self-initiated projects with environmental and sustainability learning outcomes. More than 100 summer internships are competitively awarded annually.

Undergraduate students from any discipline may apply to HMEI for funding to support sustainability and environmentally related field research. Awarded students receive support for travel, research equipment and supplies, and other expenses necessary to complete field research associated with their environmental/sustainability focused senior thesis.
HMEI also supports graduate research through an Environmental Policy Fellowship Program, the Energy and Climate Scholars Program, Walbridge Fund Graduate Award, and the Randall Hack ’69 Graduate Award.
