INSTITUTIONAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Financial support is available through institutional and federal sources. Applicants are encouraged to explore all avenues available to them for financial support. Because the Sustainability Graduate Programs at Wake Forest University is highly selective and intentionally small, we offer generous institutional financial support. All applicants are considered for institutional financial support which is awarded on a rolling basis, funds are limited so early application is highly encouraged.
