Women in Conservation Science Scholarship
The Women in Conservation Science Scholarship is open to female students pursuing a degree and career path in a field of conservation.
Conservation is the preservation and protection of all things in our natural world, from forests and oceans to animals and plants. In recent years, many organizations have sought to amp up their conservation efforts as deforestation, natural disasters, and human behavior continues to infringe upon the natural world and order. As these efforts increase, there is a call for more students to engage in conservation through their academic pursuits and career avenues. As a result, we’re finding more conservation scholarships, like the Women in Conservation Science Scholarship.
