Thanks to the generosity of Harris alumnus John Bartlett, SM’08, and the Bartlett family, EPIC, in conjunction with the Harris School of Public Policy, offers paid fellowships to Harris Master’s students so they can gain hands-on experience in energy, environment, and climate economics and policy research. Students are paired with EPIC-affiliated faculty to garner a better understanding of the research process on a part-time basis during the academic year ($8,250 stipend for the academic year) or a full-time basis during the summer ($6,500 stipend). Additionally, Harris students can apply for a $6,500 stipend to support themselves during an unpaid summer internship opportunity with an organization doing work in the energy and environment fields.

Applications

Bartlett Fellowships are open to all currently-enrolled Harris School of Public Policy Master’s students with an interest in conducting meaningful policy research on topics related to energy, environmental and climate fields. Applications for Academic Year 2025-2026 Bartlett Fellowships have closed. To hear about future applications, subscribe to our student newsletter.

Contact Sativa Volbrecht, svolbrecht@uchicago.edu, with any questions.

The fellowship helped me connect the dots of my first year in the MSCAPP program, as I directly applied computational analysis tools to environmental policy issues.
