Wyss Scholarship for U.S. Conservation

Description

Two or three Wyss Scholars will be selected each year on the basis of their leadership potential, commitment to furthering land conservation in the United States, commitment to pursuing a career in the nonprofit or public sector, financial need, and academic strength. All master's students interested in conservation issues are encouraged to apply. Financial benefits include one-half of the cost of attendance (tuition, room, and board, etc.) for three semesters, funds for a summer internship paid during a student's enrollment at SEAS, and two post-graduate payments. In 2024, the combined value is roughly $89,300 for an out-of-state student, depending on the level of their financial need. Law students (2L in the JD program) with interests in environmental and conservation law are also eligible to apply.

SEAS Application Process: Students interested in being considered must complete the following application link https://tinyurl.com/ycrf3m2 no later than 9:00 AM on Monday, November 4, 2024. 

  • Essay (500-word limit) detailing your past, present, and future commitment to the field of U.S. conservation and how becoming a Wyss Scholar will enhance your career development.
  • Resume (1-2 pages maximum).
  • Outline your remaining general course of study and the summer 2025 internship possibilities you are exploring (1-page maximum).
  • All transcripts (unofficial is acceptable).
  • Letter of recommendation concerning you as a future conservation leader. You may refer to a specific recommendation letter used for SEAS admission or submit a more recent letter. An email recommendation can be sent by the letter writer directly to Mark Romanowski, [email protected], by the scholarship deadline.
