2010 Lorry I. Lokey / Stanford University Fellowship

The Lorry I. Lokey / Stanford University Fellowship at Environmental Defense Fund will support the work of one current graduate student or recent graduate of Stanford University’s graduate programs in the natural or social sciences, the School of Engineering, or the Graduate School of Business. The fellowship offers a unique opportunity to work directly with experts in science, law, economics, computer modeling, public education, and other disciplines to help solve or better define a pressing environmental problem. Each year one fellowship position is available with Environmental Defense Fund programs in Oceans; Land, Water & Wildlife; Energy; Climate & Air; or Health Sciences (see 2010 Fellowship Project Descriptions).

A stipend of $40,000 with full benefits supports the Fellow. The Fellow will be responsible for any relocation costs. Fellowship begins Summer or Fall 2010 and lasts one year, or for a period mutually agreeable to Environmental Defense Fund and the Fellow lasting no more than one year. The position is made possible through an endowed fund established by Stanford alumnus Lorry I. Lokey ‘49.

Environmental Defense Fund is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including future generations. Among these rights are clean air, clean water, healthy food and flourishing ecosystems. We are guided by scientific evaluation of environmental problems, and we work to create solutions that win lasting economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair. 

Completed applications must be postmarked by Friday, February 5, 2010 and mailed to:
