“The renewal of the Wyss Scholars for the Conservation of the West project will support students in the environmental science and policy master’s program (ES&P) as they complete their master’s degrees and pursue leadership roles in the field of environmental conservation in the American West. Two competitive scholarships awarded annually, each valued at more than $30,000, are available to students who have demonstrated leadership capacity and commitment to environmental conservation in the West.”
“LCI’s Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program (DDCSP) also was renewed this fall and is recruiting a new cohort of scholars. The DDCSP, established in 2013, aims to broaden and strengthen the culture and practice of conservation by inspiring and preparing undergraduates from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in the protection of land, water and wildlife. This program is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, whose mission is to improve the quality of people’s lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke’s properties.”
