The Diverse, Innovative &Vibrant Environmental Scholars (DIVE Scholars) Program provides Duke undergraduates from a variety of backgrounds with vertically integrated opportunities to develop academic skills and career readiness, while offering the social support needed for students to have a meaningful, valuable, and successful experience in environmental fields.
Scholars are trained through small seminar experiences attending to professional and academic development and enhanced alumni and graduate-student mentorship. In addition to the training they receive, scholars will develop a supportive community with which they can openly discuss and problem-solve issues like lack of diversity, discrimination, and conflict in school and the workplace.
Applications for 2023-24 are due September 15, 2023 – priority will be given to Class of ’26 Students, but other cohorts are welcome to apply. Please note that this application isn’t meant to be a tool of exclusion, but one of including those students committed to receiving mentorship.
This is Nicholas School of the Environment initiative.
