World Wildlife Fund (WWF)’s Education for Nature Program (EFN) in the USA is offering the Russell E. Train Fellowships to support current and aspiring university faculty that are affiliated with or currently employed at African, Asian and Latin American universities to pursue doctoral degrees in conservation-related fields in 2021.
After completing a degree, the individual must enhance, expand, or establish a graduate-level conservation program at a university in their home country.
Russell E. Train Fellowships support individuals pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree in conservation. Each year, WWF supports committed conservationists from target countries to receive financial support for their studies and field research. Applicants can apply to attend any university around the world and must return to their home countries to work in conservation for at least two years after completing their degree.
