Terms

We ask all scholarship recipients to attend both an initial virtual meeting to confirm their plans and an all-scholarship recipient “welcome” and “final” meetings to share plans/offer feedback. We expect all recipients to document and share their project process and outcomes with the Creature Conserve Media Team during their project timeframe. Media content must include a testimonial/impact statement (text and/or video) about the value of their experience and plans for continued art-sci work on projects related to wildlife conservation. We ask for digital formats so we can share your success with others. The due date for all content to be shared is December 15, 2025. At the final stage of their project, all recipients must provide an expense report.
