BRIDGING THE GAP

Financial Aid for GHG Training

A central part of the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute’s (GHGMI) mission is to train and develop experts in greenhouse gas (GHG) management. However, we recognize that cost can be a barrier to accessing high-quality climate training. Our financial aid program has helped bridge this gap by offering tuition discounts to eligible individuals committed to advancing climate action.

FINANCIAL CHALLENGES

Our Approach

The Education Program at GHGMI provides rigorous, online technical training accessible globally in GHG accounting, auditing, and management. We acknowledge that the tuition costs of our training courses and diplomas may be out of reach for some aspiring professionals in low- and middle-income economies. Given this accessibility gap, we launched a financial aid program in 2009, which awards a tuition discount in the form of a scholarship to qualifying individuals (e.g., students from low-income economies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and underrepresented demographic groups).

Financial Aid Criteria

GHGMI offers partial tuition assistance to individuals who meet specific eligibility criteria. We strive to provide financial aid based on need. Therefore, applicants are asked to suggest the level of aid they need in the financial assistance request form. The form is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese below. GHGMI reserves the right to grant any scholarships and to be the final arbiter of such matters. Currently, there are limited financial resources available for full scholarships. Thank you for your understanding.

Financial Need

For us to grant all deserving applicants financial assistance, one of the criteria to award a scholarship will be based on the applicant’s annual level of income.

Demographic Background

We will consider applicants’ backgrounds, including those from low-income economies, unique educational situations, non-governmental organizations, and underrepresented demographic groups.

Demonstrated Committment

The applicant’s personal or their organization’s demonstrated commitment to working on greenhouse gas management issues will also be considered.

Long-Term Career Goals

An essential factor is the applicant’s commitment to a future career in greenhouse gas management.
