Students:</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">The MIT Lab for Energy
and the Environment is offering two scholarships to attend the Youth
Encounter on Sustainability in Braunwald, Switzerland. This two
and a half week course is an excellent introduction to sustainability
concepts, and offers the opportunity to have sigificant
interdisciplinary discussion with other students interested in
sustainability from around the world, while staying in a beautiful
natural setting in the Swiss Alps. This scholarship will fund
all travel and essential expenses during the
session.</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font
face="Arial"> </font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">This experience is
most appropriate for upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate
students. It is also most appropriate for students who have not
yet had the chance to delve deeply into the concepts of sustainability
and sustainable development. Our preference is to fund one
student to attend the July 4-12 session, and one to attend the August
8-25 session.</font></blockquote>
