Is there financial support available from the Conservation Management program?
No, not currently. In our initial training grant from the Packard Foundation, we were able to award 6 two-year fellowships in two incoming classes (2008 & 2009). More than 80% of our participating students, however, do not receive financial support from the Conservation Management Program (a testament to the program’s quality and popularity!). The students who are participating without receiving a program fellowship have financial support through their major professor or graduate program, or their own initiative (teaching assistant positions, grants, etc). For example, funding sources available through the Graduate Group in Ecology are here.
