About this program

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) offers the WCS Graduate Scholarship Program to support exceptional conservationists from Asia/Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and North American indigenous groups pursuing masters or doctoral degrees at international institutions of academic excellence. The program provides full funding for tuition, living expenses, and related costs, with scholarships tailored to specific conservation priorities, such as tiger, big cat, and African conservation. Eligibility is limited to nominated applicants who are citizens of their nominating country and plan to begin their studies no later than the fall following their award; WCS affiliation is not required. The program aims to foster future leaders in conservation whose studies align with WCS priorities.
