However, submissions that obviously do not fall under these categories (for example, MBAs, medical sciences, sports sciences, and applied sciences) will be disqualified.
Climate justice will be a top priority in 2023. Climate Justice scholarship submissions may be in a science or applied science discipline as long as they demonstrate relevance to climate justice issues.
