World Wildlife Fund - Russell E. Train Scholarships and Fellowships

Wildlife/wild lands, conservation, environment

Today’s conservation challenges are more complex than ever before and require advanced skills and knowledge to tackle pressing issues from climate change and deforestation to wildlife crime and rights-based fisheries management. Unfortunately, access to higher education is still very limited in many parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America impeding committed conservationists from reaching their potential. To reduce these barriers, World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Russell E. Train Scholarships and Fellowships (EFN) program provides fellowships to rising leaders to pursue graduate degree (master’s and PhD) studies in conservation-related fields anywhere in the world and conduct research in their home countries or region.
