From a fully funded MSc in Environmental Governance at the University of Freiburg on a DAAD-EPOS scholarship and a full-ride undergraduate education at the University of Toronto, to a three-year salaried sustainability postdoc at Cornell and graduate funding at Dalhousie University in coastal Canada — this batch of 4 fully funded study and research awards spans 3 countries, each covering serious money toward a degree or a research career.
These aren't volunteering placements or internships: they're scholarships and a fellowship, covering full tuition, living support or a salary, and most are open to international applicants. Deadlines run from 15 October to 5 December 2026, so there's real time to prepare a strong application.

Four fully funded routes into study and research: a free environmental-governance master's at Freiburg, a full-ride undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, a salaried three-year sustainability postdoc at Cornell, and open graduate funding at Dalhousie — these are not opportunities you'll see grouped together again. Canada offers two of the four (undergraduate at Toronto and graduate at Dalhousie), Germany the fully funded Freiburg master's, and the US the salaried Cornell fellowship. Sustainability and the environment run through much of the batch, from Freiburg's environmental governance to Cornell's climate and energy research. The Freiburg master's closes first on 15 October, and the calendar runs to the Dalhousie award on 5 December 2026. Choose yours.
