Scholarship opportunity for graduate students interested in wilderness conservation

The Wilderness Society, a leading conservation organization based in Washington, D.C. [wilderness.org], offers an annual scholarship, available to qualified graduate students. We award up to $10,000 to graduate students to support their research and preparation of a paper on an aspect of wilderness. We strongly encourage proposals relating to climate change, as well as other topics regarding wilderness conservation. Tom Barron created the Gloria Barron Wilderness Society Scholarship in honor of his mother, Gloria Barron, a dedicated educator and tireless advocate for wilderness protection.

For more information on the Scholarship and how to apply, click here. The deadline to apply for 2019 is April 19.

Please feel free pass this notice on to any groups or individuals that you believe would be interested!
