NYC Scholarship Program for Brownfield Studies
To provide long-term sustainability to achieve New York City’s brownfield cleanup goals, it is necessary to ensure that there is an adequate supply of new environmental professionals to fill the ranks of workers needed to play management and leadership roles in the future. Many of the environmental leaders of tomorrow are currently students in high schools and colleges throughout the city. The NYC Scholarship Program for Brownfield Studies is administered by the NYC Brownfield Partnership (Partnership) and is designed to promote the training and development of future environmental professionals in New York City.
Scholarships provide valuable assistance to students in their efforts to pay for the costs of tuition for undergraduate and graduate education. Member organizations in the Partnership support the NYC Scholarship Program for Brownfield Studies by making voluntary contributions. The scholarship fund is administered by the Invest in CUNY (for college students in the CUNY system) and Fund for Public Schools (for graduating NYC public high school students).
New York City high school and college students with a demonstrated academic interest in brownfield cleanup and brownfield management can apply for these scholarships. Scholarship recipients will be selected on a competitive basis by the Partnership board of directors. Applications for this program are now available and can be found in the Applications toolbar on this website. If you want more information, email us at info@brownfieldnyc.org.
