Chris and Amy Doran Climate Fellowship

The Chris & Amy Doran Climate Fellowship will be awarded to one rising junior or senior who has demonstrated a deep commitment to educating the Seaver community about the effects of anthropogenic climate change on communities and/or ecosystems, either domestically or internationally.

Fellowship recipients will be awarded a $7,500 scholarship in the 2025–2026 academic year to work with a faculty sponsor on an effective and sustainable project that could result in the significant elucidation of the effects of anthropogenic climate change to the Seaver community or a project to mitigate Pepperdine University’s contribution to climate change. Applicants should prepare a thoughtful project proposal including the potential effect of the project within the community, a timeline for completion, and plans for sustaining the project beyond the implementation year, if relevant.

Applications for the 2025–2026 academic year will be accepted through March 25, 2025, and award decisions will be made by April 30, 2025. The award is sponsored by the Seaver Dean’s Office.
