The Teresa Heinz Scholars for Environmental Research program affirms our commitment to the environment. Working with respected academic institutions, the program seeks to:
- Enrich the public's understanding of emerging environmental issues
- Provide effective solutions for environmental problems
Specifically, the program provides enhancement support for doctoral dissertation and master's thesis (or project) research. A total of 16 one-time, one-year awards are offered annually: eight $10,000 awards for doctoral dissertation support and eight $5,000 awards for master's thesis support. Funded research must have public policy relevance that increases society's understanding of environmental concerns and proposed solutions. Individuals with dissertations or theses or projects that do not meet these criteria will not be considered.
Recipients must participate in either a doctoral or master's program at the following institutions:
- Carnegie Mellon University (doctoral and masters)
- Cornell University (doctoral and masters)
- Harvard University (doctoral and masters)
- Pennsylvania State University (doctoral and masters)
- Princeton University (doctoral and masters)
- Stanford University (doctoral and masters)
- Yale University (doctoral and masters)
- Florida A&M; University (masters program only)
- Texas A&M; University at Corpus Christi (masters program only)
A panel of environmental experts selected by the foundation provides recommendations on the selection of scholars. For additional information, click here.
The Teresa Heinz Scholars for Environmental Research is funded by The Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation.
