Students planning to work in social impact or sustainability post-graduation can apply for funding to help pay down a significant portion of their Kellogg student debt over two years. (This includes continuing work on your own social or sustainability venture full-time, OR working for a social impact or sustainability organization, social enterprise, nonprofit, or working in a relevant role in a traditional company).

Awards are typically between $20k-$75k.

Applications will be accepted through December 10, 2025.  Interviews for short-listed candidates will take place in January. Note that there will be a second application round in the spring of 2026. 

The Social Impact & Sustainability Loan Assistance Awards are separate from the Collins Family Loan Assistance Program (LAP), and from the Kellogg Social Entrepreneurship Award. Students who are eligible can apply for all 3 awards, and each award has a separate application process. Please review the post-graduation awards page on the Social Impact & Sustainability intranet site for more details.
