Denver Zoo - Graduate Scholarship opportunity

Denver Zoo is happy to announce a new scholarship for female graduate students pursuing a career in wildlife conservation - “Tap into Change.”

As part Denver Zoo’s larger Untapped program – which looks to give women the tools they need to gain knowledge, have a voice, and feel empowered to become active leaders in wildlife conservation – the scholarship provides financial support for the education, training, and skills women need to prepare for careers in wildlife conservation.

Each year, an award will be given to female- identified students pursuing full or part-time graduate study, based on an application outlining academic achievement, participation in wildlife conservation activities, field of study, statements of objectives, and letters of recommendations. Scholarships will be granted to a candidate who is self-motivated, a leader within her community, demonstrates strong written and verbal communication skills, and who is passionate about wildlife. The amount of the scholarship will not exceed $2,500 in the first year and may vary thereafter.

Deadline for all applications is October 4, 2019. Questions? Contact estotz@denverzoo.org.
