General Eligibility Rules and Requirements
- Applicants may be a citizen of any country.
- Membership in the Wilson Ornithological Society is encouraged, but not required (except for the Wilson Undergraduate Mentoring Awards, for which the faculty Mentor must be an active member of the Society)
- Applicants may be of any age.
- Generally, any avian research is eligible (but see Stewart and Hall Award restrictions, above), conducted anywhere in the world.
- Grant monies are expected to be used for equipment, supplies, travel, and living expenses. Salaries for applicant and field assistants should not be included; however, stipends that cover only basic living expenses are allowed.
