Research Grants
Advancing Students and Young Professionals is one of the most important goals of The Wyoming Chapter of The Wildlife Society.
Beginning in 2020, we increased funding towards graduate student scholarships to promote the professional development of graduate students working in the state of Wyoming. Then, in 2024, the scholarship program was converted to a grant program, intended to support undergraduate and graduate students conducting wildlife research in Wyoming.
The Wyoming Chapter of The Wildlife Society is pleased to announce that applications are now open for 2026 Student Research Grants, with multiple $1,500 awards available to undergraduate and graduate students conducting wildlife-related research.
