DENIN provides opportunities for academic and professional growth and enrichment for both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Delaware who are interested in the environment. From research internships and fellowships to environmental career workshops and outreach opportunities in the community, DENIN offers students the chance to conduct research, make a difference, and get involved.

Although the Institute doesn’t grant degrees, we provide opportunities for students to network with their peers and potential mentors in various disciplines, allowing students to explore their options and interact with people on campus and around the state and the country who care about and work on behalf of the environment.

The DENIN Environmental Scholars Program is a paid undergraduate research internship opportunity during the academic year and focused on environmental topics. Scholars work with participating faculty research mentors at the University.

Internships & Fellowships: Several local, regional, and national organizations offer internships and fellowships related to environmental research and advocacy. This list can help get you started.

The DENIN Environmental Fellowship Program is a competitive, two-year fellowship that supports doctoral students carrying out leading-edge environmental research that demonstrates a clear link to societal needs and benefits.
