Gloria Barron Wilderness Society Scholarship The Wilderness Society is now accepting applications for the 2009 Gloria Barron Wilderness Society Scholarship. This 10,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a graduate student in natural resources management, law or policy programs.
The scholarship seeks to encourage individuals who have the potential to make a significant positive difference in the long-term protection of wilderness in North America. The award is made in support of research and preparation of a paper on an aspect of wilderness establishment, protection, or management. The work may apply to a particular landscape or it may address issues broadly. We strongly encourage proposals relating to climate change, as well as other topics regarding wilderness conservation.
