The Inter-Institutional Network for Food, Agriculture & Sustainability (INFAS) is
excited to launch the INFAS Food Systems Fellowship (INFAS-FSF) — a new program
designed to support graduate students in food systems, especially those who are
underrepresented and undersupported. This academic year-long fellowship will provide
mentorship, professional development, and networking opportunities to advance the
careers of emerging food systems leaders who are committed to ethically and equitably
engaging communities in their present and/or future work.

The INFAS Food Systems Fellowship runs through the 2025-2026 academic year (Sept-May). The application deadline is 11:59pm ET on Sunday, June 1, 2025.

Fellowship Benefits: 

• $2,000 stipend for each fellow
• Individual and small group mentorship with food systems scholars
• Live webinars with community food systems leaders focusing on ethical & equitable engagement in food systems research and outreach
• Professional development workshops and networking sessions
• A collaborative learning space with peers who share your passion for engaged, ethical, and equitable food systems work

We’re excited to launch the very first year of the INFAS Food Systems Fellowship! This pilot year is all about learning, testing, and building together. As we kick things off, we’re eager to grow alongside our fellows and shape what this program can become.
