Additional awards

In addition to fellowships, IWWR continues to recognize achievements of previously-supported students.

Echo Travel Award:

This travel award is intended to help students attend a conference, and thereby advance their careers.

This annual award of $1000 (USD) is given to support travel to a scientific conference relevant to the winner’s career objectives and to Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC). Applicants must be or have been supported by IWWR. The award commemorates outstanding contributions of the Echo Lake crew to science-based conservation and their desire to help advance careers of promising professionals as they are about to or that have recently graduated. This is a time period when they may have limited access to funds and when their careers could benefit from exposure and networking opportunities at meetings. However, the award is also open to current IWWR students earlier in their graduate programs.

The next round of applications will be due November 2025.
