Western Resources Fellowship at Ucross High Plains Stewardship Initiative

Ucross High Plains Stewardship Initiative’s (UHPSI) Western Resources Fellowship provides fellows with a financial award, logistical assistance, and mentorship to aid with research, an internship, or applied project that will have a high impact on conservation, stewardship, or management of natural resources in the western US, with the priority given to quality applicants working in the Rocky Mountains or High Plains. This program supports undergraduates and graduate students completing a summer experience that will provide them with practical experience, leadership skills, and/or research experience that will prepare fellows for their future careers. A financial award of up to $8,000 will be granted to each fellow. This fellowship is open to undergraduate and graduate students (professional or research degrees). Fellows will actively participate in peer mentoring with other fellows and will receive guidance from UHPSI program director, Michelle Downey and faculty director, Dr. Justin Farrell, during the summer.
