Through the UChicago Polsky Summer 2026 Policy Fellowship Program, UChicago undergraduates can apply for funded, full-time summer internships at external organizations in the fields of climate, energy or environmental policy. This new summer opportunity is part of a new partnership between the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth and the Institute of Politics. The program is sponsored by the Polsky Energy Transition Leadership Academy.

Selected students will receive a $6,000 stipend for a minimum of 320 hours or at least 8 weeks of full-time work for the fellowship. All currently-enrolled University of Chicago College students are eligible to apply.

Applications

Applications for the second batch 2026 UChicago Polsky Summer Policy Fellowships will open soon.
