WCN Scholarship program

The WCN Scholarship program was founded in 2006 to discover and nurture emerging young conservationists so they can one day take up the fight for wildlife.

WCN scholars are the future of conservation. These students from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America are committed to working on wildlife conservation in their home countries. They are forward thinkers and out-of-the-box problem solvers, able to navigate the labyrinth of challenges they face protecting endangered wildlife with courage, optimism, stamina, and a nimbleness to adapt to constantly fluctuating political and cultural landscapes—always keeping an eye on the bigger picture.

This program offers financial and professional support for early-career conservationists through two scholarship categories also availlable for Central Asia:

• – Conservation Scholarship for community-based conservationists.
• – Veterinary Scholarship for wildlife veterinarians.

If you are an interested applicant, please contact til.dieterich@gmail.com. Note that you must be nominated by a pre-approved/eligible nominator. The call for nominations will open in October of each year, and it will NOT be listed publicly.
