Fellowships

New discoveries are waiting in the wings. IWWR supports innovative research and the bright minds leading it.

Conservation science never stops.

By supporting young professionals who are conducting forward-looking research, IWWR continually advances its body of knowledge while empowering future generations of conservation scientists.

Nine graduate fellowships are available annually. These fellowships provide students with important funding to further their education. Fellowships are awarded to some of North America’s most outstanding students whose research is taking place across the continent.

The fellowship program is a collaboration between Ducks Unlimited staff in both Canada and the United States. This partnership represents the continental scope of wetland conservation and the cross-border efforts that make it possible. To date, fellowships have been awarded to more than 74 students from 29 universities.
