Kestrel Student Campaign
Jan. 3, 2024
We are working with EERE on a new effort to engage more students in computing and to amplify how computing is used for EERE work. These goals begin with a Kestrel-focused campaign in January, where undergraduate and graduate students from any U.S. college or university can apply for time on Kestrel for their EERE mission-related research project. Students have until Feb. 12, 2024, to apply, and EERE decisions on allocations will be made by early March. Student time on Kestrel will be granted for the remainder of FY 2024.
