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! Student groups may apply for Spring 2025 funding until January 31.
Find your people.
