In partnership with Hau‘oli Mau Loa Foundation’s Environmental Leadership Pathways Initiative, the Hawai’i Conservation Alliance and Foundation (the Alliance & Foundation) is proud to announce the 2020 Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference (HCC) Student Scholarship Program. Celebrating its 8th year, this registration incentive aims to provide a one-of-a-kind career development opportunity for students interested in pursuing a career in a conservation-related field. Over the years, the program has grown to include high school students, undergraduate and graduate students across the Hawaiian Islands. This year the Alliance & Foundation is allowing all enrolled students* into the program. Student Scholarship recipients will receive a three day registration to HCC which is inclusive of access to all virtual Conference sessions (during and after), the virtual exhibit hall, and Conference materials at a subsidized rate of $5 via a registration discount code. This Student Scholarship Application will remain open until August 30th, 2020 11:59 PM HST.

 

In addition, Student Scholarship recipients are eligible to apply for the Pūlama Kuamoʻo Mentorship Program. The intention of this program is to provide an opportunity for students from Hawai‘i to meet and network with Hawaiʻi’s established professionals in the conservation research and natural resource management community. For established professionals, it is an opportunity to mentor the next generation of conservationists, managers and educators, along with sharing their journey in this field. Students will benefit from one-on-one interaction with respected professionals in their areas of interest. If you are interested in the Pūlama Kuamoʻo Mentorship Program, you must submit this Student Scholarship Application program by August 11th, 2020 11:59 PM HST.
