Greetings from the Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation:
This e-mail is going out to all of our faculty contacts and academic colleagues in New England and California to inform you that the nomination period is now open for the Switzer Environmental Fellowships. Nomination forms and materials are available online at: http://www.switzern etwork.org/ fellowship- forms.html. Attached is a summary Memorandum describing the Fellowship program and its requirements. For more
information, please contact Don Brackett, Administrative Coordinator here at the Foundation. He can be reached at (207) 338-5654, or by e-mail at
Please be aware that this year's nomination deadline is Thursday, January 11, 2007. For most of you, this means the deadline will occur during winter break. We want to be sure everyone is aware of this early on.
If nominating a master's degree student, we are aware that the deadline is early enough in the student's program that you may not know your candidate very well. Please be sure to review the Fellowship qualifications. Competition for these Fellowships is intense - there are typically over 100 applicants for the ten Fellowships awarded each year in each region. Ensuring that your candidate meets the criteria before going through the nomination process will save you (and your student) a lot of time and energy. Please also note that the amount of the Fellowhip has increased to $15,000 for the coming year.
The Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation identifies and nurtures environmental leaders who have the ability and determination to make a significant impact, and supports initiatives that will have direct and measurable results to improve environmental quality. The Foundation accomplishes this by awarding academic fellowships and project grants, sponsoring professional development activities, and fostering a growing network of Switzer Fellows, environmental practitioners and organizations. More details about the Switzer Foundation Fellowship and related programs can be found on our website, www.switzernetwork. org.
If you have any questions or concerns about the nominating process, or the Fellowship in general, please do not hesitate to contact Switzer Foundation staff. Thank you, and we look forward to receiving your nominations.
