Fellowship Structure

The 2025 Fellowship will run for 12 months from January to December 2025.  Key elements of the Fellowship will include learning & development sessions, networking, and self-directed project work, where students will design and implement a climate action project.

The Fellowship is designed with the schedule of a full-time MBA student in mind.  Fellows can expect learning and cohort experiences during the Spring semester (January through April), a period of sustained independent work with fewer meetings in the summer (June through August), and then a renewed level of project work, feedback, and final presentations in the Fall semester (September through December). 

Fellows are invited to attend social, learning, and development events approximately 1 hour per month during the school year. Time estimates of climate-action project work are 2-4 hours a week during the school year and 1-2 hour a week during the summer. Detailed information on the climate-action project and expectations can be found on the application page.

Compensation

Fellows will be compensated $3,000 for the 2025 program, payable in one installment at the beginning of the fellowship term. Fellowship stipend is considered taxable income.  Fellows should retain sufficient funds from their stipend to cover their Summit ticket and travel to the Summit.
