The Journal of Environmental Investing Scholarship Program(JEI SP;
www.jeisp.org <http://www.jeisp.org>) will award US$3,500 to the
graduate student who writes the most original and rigorous manuscript on
a topic related to environmental investing. Students seeking an advanced
degree in any discipline related to environmental investing are invited
to present ideas and research.
The JEI SP was founded in 2010 by a gift from the /Journal of
Environmental Investing /(www.thejei.com <http://www.thejei.com>) to
promote, encourage, and support interdisciplinary scholarship by active
graduate students who are studying in relevant fields. The Program’s
goal is to facilitate capital flow to effective, scalable solutions to
the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Interested and qualified students are invited to submit a curriculum
vitae, a 225-word abstract of his/her manuscript, and a letter from
his/her college or university attesting to the applicant’s academic
status. These documents should be sent to the JEI SP at apply@jeisp.org
<mailto:apply@jeisp.org>. If an abstract proves acceptable, the author
will be invited to submit an original manuscript (no more than 5,000
words excluding notes, references, and supporting materials). Special
consideration will be given to contributions from students in “emerging
markets” as defined by the International Finance Corporation of the
World Bank.
Deadline for applications is *January 28, 2011*. Manuscripts are due
*April 26, 2011*. The Program expects to announce the winner by *July
15, 2011*.
