The ESF Career Fellowships are intended
to promote the career and professional
development of students at the State
University of New York College of
Environmental
Science and Forestry.
These Fellowships are made possible by
the generous
donations of alumni and
supporters of the college, who are
committed to solving environmental
challenges, and supporting students who
strive to do the same.
The ESF Career Fellowships support
internships, interdisciplinary projects, and
conference attendance for undergraduate
and graduate students. ESF Career Fellows
are exceptional students who seek to
pursue experiences that can truly shape
their development. With the help of the
ESF Career Fellowships, the chance to
pursue career dreams can become a
reality.

exceptional engagement in their field of
study, as well as their intention to pursue a
career in it.
