The Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society is pleased to be able to present a number of scholarships to deserving students. Scholarships are provided for educational assistance to college students pursuing degrees in programs that will prepare them for careers in natural resource conservation. Scholarships through the Texas Chapter are made possible through private donations and membership support.
The scholarship application process has evolved over the past few years with continued emphasis on student participation and professionalism. We encourage students to utilize available computer software and attachments when completing applications. Competition is stiff these days, so putting time and effort into the application will help. A polished application-- one given noticeable thought, will stand out of the crowd.
The Scholarship Committee asks that each application be reviewed for grammatical and spelling errors and removal of university affiliation to ensure objectivity. To help ensure good applications, your faculty advisor must sign the application. Undergraduate and graduate scholarship applications should be submitted to the Scholarship Chair by December 1.
Cottam presentations must be sent to the Program chair by December 1 to ensure their inclusion in the meeting program. The extended abstract should be sent to the Cottam chair by January 7 to be included in the judging. Postmarks are not accepted.
