North Central Section of The Wildlife Society

Outstanding Wildlife

Graduate Student Award

We are accepting applications for the Outstanding Wildlife Graduate Student Award. The North Central Section (NCS) of The Wildlife Society has a long history of working on student activities and we have developed an award recognizing outstanding students and potential future wildlife professionals.

Graduate students who are pursuing a degree in wildlife ecology, wildlife management, zoology or a closely related discipline who plan to attend the Conference are encouraged to apply. Student finalists will be selected based on academic ability, scholarly achievement, work experience, letters of reference and extra-curricular activities in The Wildlife Society.

The Outstanding Wildlife Graduate Student Award will be presented during the Plenary Session of the annual Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference. The award winner will be presented a check for $500.00.

Interested students or their advisors need to submit an application, a resume of 3 pages or less, two letters of recommendation from faculty members or natural resource professionals, and a cover letter including future career goals and reasons for attending the Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference to the Section President, whose email can be found at:
