We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the third cohort of the Impact Scholar Mentorship Program. Following the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our previous mentees, who consistently highlighted the value, inspiration, and collegiality they experienced, we are thrilled to continue this initiative into a new round.
The 2025 cohort will begin in October 2025 and will bring together a select group of 10–12 early-career researchers, including late-stage PhD students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Assistant Professors, who are pursuing innovative research on pressing social and environmental challenges across global contexts.
This year's program focus is on building impactful careers. Our aim is to provide participants with meaningful mentorship from leading senior scholars in the field. These mentors, carefully selected for both their academic excellence and commitment to supporting emerging scholars, will provide thought partnership, guidance, and strategic insight to help participants strengthen the impact of their research.
Application requirements:
- A current CV and a 2-page motivation letter outlining your interest in the program, your research focus, and how you hope to benefit from and contribute to the mentorship experience.
- Application deadline: August 30, 2025
- Please submit your application via the form here: Mentorship Program
We are thankful for all mentors of the new Cohort!
We look forward to receiving your application and to welcoming the next cohort of scholars committed to advancing impactful and socially relevant research! Sylvia Grewatsch, Wren Montgomery and Cat Summers
