LCA Teaching Scholarships 2025
At the International Life Cycle Academy, we believe that passionate educators are the spark that ignites sustainable thinking in future generations. That’s why we’ve created our scholarship program – breaking down financial barriers to help university teachers bring cutting-edge LCA methodology into classrooms worldwide.
About the Scholarship Program
The LCA Teaching Scholarships are designed to bridge the gap between academic excellence and financial accessibility. These scholarships enable dedicated educators to attend high-quality LCA courses and gain valuable knowledge in Life Cycle Assessment, enhancing their ability to teach and inspire the next generation of sustainability professionals.
The initiative reflects ILCA’s commitment to democratizing access to high-quality LCA education and ensuring that geographical location or institutional budget limitations do not prevent passionate teachers from advancing their expertise.
This initiative not only benefits the individual educators but also creates a multiplier effect, as each scholarship recipient will return to their institution equipped to educate numerous students in LCA methodologys and applications.
