Haub School Scholarships
Wyoming Wildlife Fellowship
The management and conservation of wildlife and fisheries resources relies on professionals with extensive scientific knowledge, a nuanced understanding of how the public interfaces with natural resources, and a mastery of skills ranging from estimating population trajectories to pulling trailers to talking with landowners. The Wyoming Wildlife Fellowship strives to promote well-rounded and well-prepared wildlife and fisheries professionals through an immersive, supportive, hands-on education and work experience. If you have any questions about the Fellowship or if you have potential opportunities for the Fellows, please reach out to Rhiannon Jakopak at rjakopak@uwyo.edu.
