The Dow Sustainability Fellows Program accepts up to ten applications annually from each school and college on the UM-Ann Arbor campus. All full-time graduate students pursuing terminal master’s or professional degrees are eligible to apply. Applicants must be nominated by their school or college.

Interested students should talk with their school or college’s administration about the nomination process or reach out to the Dow Fellows Program Manager, Bridget Gruber, for more information. The nomination process begins at the start of the fall semester and nominations are due from all schools and colleges by the end of October.

Once nominated, candidates are invited to complete the Graham Sustainability Institute’s application. The application includes a narrative, a curriculum vitae or resumé, and transcripts. All application materials are submitted online as a single PDF file. Applications are due early November.

All applications are reviewed by a panel of faculty reviewers. Dow Fellows are notified by the end of the calendar year and the cohort is announced in early January.
