Apply today for the Net Zero Emerging Leaders Internship Grant


Meet your firm’s carbon commitments with support from Energy Trust of Oregon’s Net Zero Emerging Leaders Internship (NZELI) Grant. The grant helps architecture and engineering firms provide meaningful mentorship to young professionals who can help advance their industry carbon commitments.

What you should know:

  • Firms can get up to $8,000 to offer a 12-week paid internship to students or recent graduate interns.
  • Interns will help your firm meet and track its progress toward the American Institute of Architects’ AIA 2030 Commitment, Carbon Leadership Forum’s MEP 2040 Commitment or Structural Engineering Institute’s SE 2050 Commitment.
  • Firms must have Oregon projects in design and be a commitment signatory by the grant application deadline to be eligible.
  • Qualified applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s important to apply early.
