Applications to host a McKinney Climate Fellow for Summer 2024 are being accepted now through Monday, Oct. 2, 2023 at 11:59pm ET.
Note: Only Indiana-based organizations (or those with Indiana-based projects) that are able to hire international students are eligible to apply. Exceptions are made only for legal and national security reasons. Visa sponsorship is not required, as all qualified applicants are eligible to work in the US.
Partners who are new to the McKinney Climate Fellows program should book an intake meeting with MCF Program Manager Elspeth Hayden.
Questions can be directed to Elspeth at haydene@iu.edu.
A grant from the McKinney Family Foundation underwrites a portion of the costs associated with the McKinney Climate Fellows, however, many more opportunities exist to maximize the project’s potential.
Nearly 100 business, local government, and nonprofit organizations in Indiana have hosted McKinney Climate Fellows during the program's history. See the list:
