Do I Qualify?<\/h2>\n
To be considered for funding your project must meet three baseline criteria:<\/p>\n
- \n
- You must be a full time, currently enrolled NAU undergraduate or graduate student.<\/li>\n
- Your reseach must be conducting under the guidance of a full-time NAU faculty member.<\/li>\n
- The research design and goals must directly focus on improving sustainablity or reducing emissions on NAU’s Flagstaff Mountain Campus. Please review the NAU Climate Action Plan<\/a> to ensure your project aligns with our goals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Need an Idea?<\/h4>\n
If you want to do research but don’t know where to start, check out this list of Sustainability Project Ideas<\/a> for campus inspired research prompts. For additional ideas or ways to be involved, email the committee at GreenFund@nau.edu.<\/a><\/p>\n
Application Deadlines:<\/h2>\n
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis during the school year, but priority is given to submissions recieved by the 12th week of each semester. Also please note that while applications are accepted during the summer, due to a infrequent meetings, the committee may not review applications until the Fall semester.<\/p>\n
