CONSERVATION GRANTS

Graduate Student Grant

​

Nature Regina awards an annual Conservation Grant of $1500 to support a University of Regina graduate student conducting research that contributes to the conservation of the natural world and biological diversity. Usually only one grant is awarded each year.  

 

Eligibility:

  • Currently registered in a Graduate program at the University of Regina;

  • A returning student in the following year;

  • Enrolled in a program that furthers Nature Regina’s mission: to foster appreciation and conservation of the natural world;

  • Demonstrates a need for financial assistance. 

 

Projects that further the understanding of ecological relationships in the natural environment in southern Saskatchewan are preferred candidates for the grant. Submissions should indicate the ecological need for the project and level of urgency for the funds, and demonstrate an appropriate use of funds. 

 

Successful applicants are expected to make an oral presentation at one of the Society’s monthly meetings (September – May) upon completion or near-completion of the research project. The successful candidate will be notified by mid-April.

 

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: March 1st

 

Please submit applications to natureregina@gmail.com with Conservation Grant in the subject line. Applications received after the deadline may not be eligible for funding in the current year. Applicants who received a grant in previous years are eligible to receive the Conservation Grant for the current year.
