Administration

The ClimateCAP Fellowship is managed by the ClimateCAP program team at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and funded thanks to support from The Hearst Foundations.

Applications

Applications must be submitted via the ClimateCAP Fellowship application link online. Only one application may be submitted per student.  Students may only include one project pre-proposal in their application.

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.

Course Credit

ClimateCAP is not able to grant credit for the Fellowship program.  We encourage you to talk with your university based on the scope of your project to determine if that is an option for you.

D&I Statement

As stated in the Duke University Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion, “Duke aspires to create a community built on collaboration, innovation, creativity, and belonging. Our collective success depends on the robust exchange of ideas—an exchange that is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourishes. To achieve this exchange, it is essential that all members of the community feel secure and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold these values.” 

ClimateCAP seeks to build a diverse cohort of Fellows that represents a wide range of experience, talents, cultures, and perspectives and is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that respects and values all of its members.

Misconduct

ClimateCAP reserves the right to terminate a Fellow’s appointment and stipend payment immediately for violation of the terms of the appointment or misconduct. 

Terms

Fellows are required to remain in good academic standing during the course of their fellowship, abide by fellowship guidelines, and conduct themselves as representatives of the ClimateCAP Fellowship.

Withdrawal

If a Fellow drops out of their academic program or the ClimateCAP Fellowship before the fellowship has ended, the Fellow may be liable for full or partial restitution of the stipend.
