GRANTS

Nature Regina Graduate Student Grant

Nature Regina provides an annual Graduate Student Grant of $1500 to a University of Regina student for a project that contributes to ecological conservation and biological diversity.

Nature Regina is a non-profit organization founded in 1933 that is committed to fostering awareness and appreciation of the natural ecological systems that sustain us in and around Regina or more broadly throughout the prairie landscape. Nature Regina members share an interest in exploring and learning about the natural world and seek to conserve the present and future natural environment.

The Graduate Student Grant is made available each year and is targeted at students who need financial assistance to carry out their nature-based projects. Preference is given to projects which further the understanding of ecological relationships in the natural environment in southern Saskatchewan.

We require a short proposal from each candidate that includes:

• The ecological need for the project

• A short description of the goals and objectives

• A brief general description of the methods and work plan

• Duration of the project

• A description of the end product(s) of the project such as a completion report or thesis

• Expected use for the results, (such as contributing to ongoing research, resource

management planning or regulatory decisions)

• Expected use of the grant funds, (living expenses, travel, acquisition of equipment,

support for assistants or other)

• Potential for combining with other funding sources

• Level of urgency for the financial support Upon completion or near completion of the project, the successful applicant is expected to make an oral presentation at one of Nature Regina’s monthly meetings.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS:

March 1st Applicants who received a grant in a previous year are still eligible to receive the Graduate Student Grant in the current year provided they are not in their final year of studies.
