The Wyss Scholars Program for Conservation of the American West

The 2011-2013 Wyss Scholars Program Application Guidelines are now available on the SNRE Wyss Scholars webpage. For more information on the Wyss Scholars Program, please contact Diana Woodworth (dianaw@umich.edu) in the School of Natural Resources & Environment Office of Academic Programs.

 

Wyss Scholars will be selected at SNRE on the basis of their leadership potential, commitment to furthering land conservation in the Intermountain West, commitment to pursuing a career as a practicing nonprofit or public-sector conservationist, financial need and academic strength. At the University of Michigan, the Scholars are under the umbrella of the Ecosystem Management Initiative, advised by Dr. Steven Yaffee. The Scholars are supported by grants from the The Wyss Foundation to selected universities. The University of Michigan is one of only four universities nationally to be chosen for these grants based on their superior interdisciplinary environmental programs and commitment to educating conservation practitioners.
