Bank of America Sustainability Fellows

The Bank of America Sustainability Fellowship provides a renewable $7000 fellowship to incoming Furman students engaged in sustainability-related projects on campus and the Greenville, South Carolina community. Furman brings one fellow to campus each year who demonstrates leadership in sustainability. To learn more and apply, see the Furman admissions website here and the press release here.

Caitlin Kelliher ('12), the first Bank of America Sustainability Fellow, is currently spending the fall semester studying away in China. Landri Tripp ('13) is planning for the launch of the new Campus Sustainability Help Desk in January of 2010. Follow along with their experiences at their blog, The Green Scene at Furman.
