Science Warriors Fellowship Application 2025-2026

The Science Warriors Fellowship aims to cultivate scientist organizers within Indigenous Nations, bridging the gap between grassroots organizing and scientific research. The fellowship is focused on solution-oriented projects to address environmental health, wildlife, soils, water conservation or any area of ecological concern. We have a particular focus on projects that could protect communities and lands from extractive development. Fellows will receive a stipend of up to $10,000 for a 12 month project, with additional funding of up to $5,000 available for research materials, gas, etc. Mentors are optional, with funding of up to $2,000 if needed.

Fellows will participate in regular check-ins and workshops focused on building community, organizing, Indigenous research methodologies and technical skill building. You are required to attend all workshops and gatherings to receive your stipend unless other arrangements are made. The fellowship is very flexible and well suited for people with families or community responsibilities- we will work with your schedule. Please fill out the following questions to complete your application.
