The CLA has three primary components:
All travel is supported. Applications are competitive; the class is limited to 12 students. Details are available on the application form.
Several Michigan Tech students traveled to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with the 2023 CLA class for COP28 and had a fantastic experience.
The CLA is funded with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is organized through Vanderbilt University and the NSF-supported Youth Environmental Alliance in Higher Education (YEAH) together with Michigan Technological University, Boston University and Tennessee State University.
The program is open to graduate students in any field. You must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national or a permanent resident of the United States.
