The Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at the University of Washington is a diverse, committed, and creative community from around the country that aims to change the face and future of conservation.

What we do:  

We support emerging conservation scholars in developing innovative perspectives and skills by providing opportunities to explore nature conservation and its relationship to environmental justice in both urban and rural contexts. We apply critical analysis to human interactions with each other and the rest of the natural world to help scholars find a conservation practice and career path that is right for them.

Who we’re looking for:

We are looking for 20 undergraduates who reflect cross-cultural perspectives with an emphasis on students from historically excluded groups in the conservation field.

Program Details:

• Two-summer program (June-August) and academic year support
• Professional development and internship opportunities
• Stipend of $4,400 / summer
• All expenses paid
• In response to COVID-19 safety concerns and adherence to state and University response plans, we have decided to once again offer our first summer experience as a distance learning program. If it becomes safe and feasible to do so, we may resume in-person learning in Washington state for the final weeks of the program. More details on our distance learning program can be found on our website.
