Are you interested in being part of the global energy transition to renewables and participating in a two-year masters’ program? Western Colorado University’s Master in Environmental Management (MEM) has partnered with Solar Energy International (SEI) to create a master in environmental management degree that integrates SEI training with MEM program courses for students interested in doing their 600+ hour second year project with the organization and providing up to 10 hours a week of internship work during their first year. Access to affordable, reliable energy is key to providing a just and sustainable pathway to economic development and opportunity globally.
Western Colorado University is seeking applicants for our SEI fellowship program that will complete projects that empower people in the United States or throughout the world. Fellows will receive a $5,000 fellowship to be applied toward their master’s tuition across their two year program and up to a $5,000 fellowship from SEI to be applied toward SEI courses (E.g, PV101, 203, 201L and up to two other courses based on project interest and course availability). Fellows will engage in meaningful projects with SEI staff to learn and apply skills. Projects may include exploring technical or policy solutions, market incentives, or education and outreach for expanding the solar conversation in fields from agriculture to economic development.
- No GRE required, just compulsive curiosity, commitment, and a desire to do meaningful environmental projects.
- MEM students engage in 600+ hour projects instead of traditional thesis.
- Each cohort typically has individuals from over 20 different undergraduate majors and a variety of professional backgrounds and interests
- Distance learning and residential options are available during both years of the program
- Applications are free until January 31 and always free for RPCVs
