Graduate Student Fellowships:
We offer two types of fully-funded graduate fellowships for students interested in conservation of plants and animals. Both provide students with recruitment and repatriation airfares, a stipend, a tuition fee waiver, and the opportunity to apply for competitive research funds. Fellows will be enrolled in UMSL's PhD or MS graduate degree programs and participate in special workshops or internships designed to increase the Fellow’s capacity to make an impact in conservation following graduation.

We also offer teaching assistant and research assistant positions with the Department of Biology, and students in the program qualify for numerous other funding opportunities.
We will begin accepting applications for our Christensen and Saint Louis Zoo fellowships in Fall 2024 to start in Fall 2025. The deadline to submit an application is January 10th, 2025.
