SCB Graduate Student Research Fellowship Awards

SCB allocates awards funding to support ten graduate student members whose research advances the science and practice of conserving biological diversity. 

The fellowship is designed to support graduate students who need assistance with costs toward field expenses in order to complete their degree. 

The SCB Global Awards Committee administers the Graduate Student Research Fellowship Awards and evaluates applicants on merit and with respect to geographic, topical, gender and other aspects of conservation diversity. 

Graduate Student Research Fellowship Awards will support field work, including travel, materials or equipment required to conduct research by graduate students.

Students must demonstrate financial need toward completion of graduate degree and graduate research must contribute to SCB’s mission to advance the science and practice of conserving Earth's biodiversity.

Applications for the 2023 Graduate Student Research Fellowship Awards are now open! Our submission platform will open later this week. The deadline to submit your materials is October 21, 2023. You can read the 2023 Submission Guidelines here
