Arctic Internships and Fellowships

Arctic International Internship

The Arctic is vast, diverse, and powerful. Travelling to Arctic regions can be a transformative experience, invoking thoughtfulness and cultivating personal growth. Working with Arctic organizations that perform remote work can be equally invaluable for expanding perspectives.

Stefansson Fellowship

Stefansson Fellowship projects can deal with topics in any field of study related to the Arctic and can be either student-led or in partnership with staff or faculty of Dartmouth. The Institute of Arctic Studies offers this fellowship as an opportunity for students to pursue projects remotely, or in-person.
