Doris Duke Conservation Scholar’s Program, a PAID program for first-years and sophomores.

Two dozen stellar students from all over the country — and diverse along all axes: race, ethnicity, socio-economics, area of study — gather for this immersion/field-based course. They travel all over and address a range of conservation issues through a variety of ecological and social science lenses. The overarching theme? How we can best grow an inclusive and diverse conservation movement. The application deadline is January 29.
