The Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program is designed to support exceptionally qualified students pursuing graduate degrees (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) in varied research areas of wildlife conservation and management, with emphasis on research that informs decision-making and on-the-ground implementation. We invite the next generation of conservation researchers and leaders to submit innovative proposals that will produce actionable conservation practices. Research Fellows receive a monthly stipend and are provided onsite housing, utilities, and lab and office space (if research is conducted on or near the Foundation).
