>Dear MIT Students:
>
>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.
>
>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.
>

>deadlines and application procedures listed in the brochure.
