Kickstarting Student-Run Environmental Projects
The Mel Lane Student Grants program provides funding for projects that can make a measurable impact on environment and sustainability issues.
The Stanford Woods Institute recently awarded grants to Stanford student projects that hold the promise of bringing solar irrigation to poor farmers in India and using 3D printers to design parts for an affordable drinking water chlorinator, among other bold objectives.
The Mel Lane Student Grants Program provides $500 – $3,000 per project for student-driven-and-managed environmental initiatives that make a measureable impact on an issue through action or applied research. Preference is given to projects that focus on environmental sustainability within one of the following topic areas: climate, ecosystem services and conservation, food security, freshwater, oceans, public health or sustainable development. The next proposal submission deadline is Feb. 17.
