Student-Fueled Initiatives

 

Duke students aren’t just tomorrow’s leaders—you’re coming up with inventive ways to learn about and advance solutions for energy and environmental challenges now. That’s why the Nicholas Institute supports a variety of student-led efforts, ranging from Energy Week at Duke to research projects and more.

Pursue funding. 

Each semester, the Nicholas Institute offers a limited amount of funding to Duke student organizations to develop events and projects that benefit the larger community of Duke students interested in energy and sustainability! The fall funding period has closed; the next RFP will open in January 2025.

The Nicholas Institute also organizes the $10,000 Clean Energy Prize, which supports student innovators to take their projects to the next level.

Find your people.

Here’s a (non-comprehensive!) list of Duke student organizations focused on energy, environment and sustainability. Want to see your organization's name on this list? Contact Bryan Koen, Assistant Director for Student Experience ().
