Applied Climate Studies

Scholarships

The Warren Wilson College MS in Applied Climate Studies program will offer scholarship opportunities to students, on a limited basis.  In order to be considered for a scholarship, you need to first submit your application to be admitted into the MS program.  You will then complete a simple application that consists of submitting your resume and an overview letter (no more than 2 pages) that outlines both your qualification to receive a scholarship and a statement of how this will help you cover costs of a graduate education.  We strongly encourage everyone seeking funding to find other opportunities to combine with these scholarships as part of your funding package.  Climate Corps and Americorps alumni are eligible to apply for an additional $1000/year to cover costs as part of our status as a School of National Service. Applications for a scholarship can be found here.

Fellowships

The MS in Applied Climate Studies program, in partnership with other campus organizations, plans to offer at least two fellowships for the cohort starting in 2025.  These fellowships are focused on climate-related work, and involve a process similar to applying for a job.  The fellowships require 20 hours per week during the 15-week semesters (fall and spring) and the equivalent of 29 hours per week for 10 weeks in summer.  The two Fellowship positions include the following:

1)WWC Applied Climate Resilience Fellowship

2)WWC Climate Action Planning and Operations Fellowship

You can apply for both of these (each with a different application), but no one person will serve the role of the two fellowships.  Applications have a priority deadline of February 18th, 2025 for these fellowships.
