PERC is accepting proposals for its Enviropreneur in Residence (EIR) Program. The Fellowship(s) are awarded to aspiring or successful enviropreneurs, environmentalists who are making wealth out of trash, or otherwise, using entrepreneurship to promote environmentalism.
Fellowships include a cash stipend, office space, and support, and a keen intellectual atmosphere in which to develop a business plan, commence operation of a new product or idea, take an incipient idea towards reality, or to otherwise promote enviropreneurism.
Individuals who are interested in the EIR Fellowship should submit their application online. Please include with your EIR application:
- A two to five page proposal outing their project or idea
- A resume or vita
- Any other supporting materials they deem appropriate
Fellows are expected to spend some, but not necessarily all of their Fellowship time in residence in Bozeman. These terms are negotiable, and the applicant should post his or her availability in the proposal submitted.
Travel and housing expenses are to be covered by the Fellow (individuals at PERC can help find housing).
Preference for fellowship awards is afforded to individuals who have participated in PERC's Enviropreneur Institute.
2012 applications are now closed and 2013 applications are coming soon!
For additional information about these Fellowships and to discuss details, please feel free to contact PERC or the Director Emeriitus:

Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
