About SCB Graduate Student Research Fellowship Awards

This fellowship supports students who are passionate about advancing the science and practice of conserving biological diversity.

The SCB (Society for Conservation Biology) annually funds ten deserving graduate students. These awards are specifically aimed at students whose research aligns with SCB’s mission to protect and conserve biodiversity. By providing financial assistance for field expenses, the fellowship ensures that students can focus on their studies without financial constraints.

Administered by the SCB Global Awards Committee, the Graduate Student Research Fellowship Awards are evaluated based on merit, geographic diversity, topical relevance, and other aspects of conservation diversity. It is an excellent opportunity for graduate students to receive recognition and support for their critical work in conservation biology.
