Graduate Energy Fellows Program

A New Community for Dartmouth Graduate Students

Transitioning to equitable and sustainable energy systems and ensuring healthy climate futures requires input and collaboration across all sectors and disciplines. The Irving Institute Graduate Energy (IIGE) Fellows program is a multidisciplinary pilot initiative for Dartmouth graduate students who are interested in exploring topics and/or pursuing careers related to energy and climate. 

IIGE Fellows build a multidisciplinary community of peers, connect with top energy and climate leaders, and more. The program provides participants with:
 

  • Community-building and peer-to-peer networking events 
  • Access to intimate engagements with distinguished invited speakers 
  • 1 x 1 mentorship with Dartmouth alumni energy and climate leaders
  • Up to $500 in funding to present at/attend energy/climate-related conferences
  • A unique opportunity to help shape an exciting new pilot program at Dartmouth 

The application deadline for 2024-25 has passed. We will share information about applying for the 2025-26 program soon.
