JEISP

Developing and deploying market-based solutions to our most pressing environmental problems requires rigorous interdisciplinary scholarship. It is critical that we encourage and support young scholars to participate in and contribute to this process. The Journal of Environmental Investing Scholarship Program, a public charity under the United States Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)3, is meant to reward graduate students who write an original, rigorous, and interdisciplinary work of scholarship in a critical area of environmental investing.

We are now accepting submissions for the 2011-2012 scholarship program.

Interested and qualified students are invited to submit a curriculum vitae, an extended abstract of his/her manuscript, which refers to results and generally describes how the results will be discussed, 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. 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 now closed. Manuscripts are due February 29, 2012. The Program expects to announce the winner by May 1, 2012.
