Russell E. Train Fellowships 2022

Russell E. Train Fellowships 2022

Russell E. Train fellowships help students pursue a Masters Degree in conservation studies.

The World Wildlife Fund supports conservation leaders in the countries where it is located with the goal of obtaining funds to fund their research.

The Russell E. Train Fellowships provide financial assistance to those seeking master’s or doctoral degrees in conservation and related fields.

Every year, WWF assists committed researchers and conservationists in the target nations in securing funding for their projects.

EFN seeks applications from the present and upcoming generations of academics and practitioners to pursue graduate-level studies (master’s and PhDs) geared toward research that encourages a fuller understanding of the place-based character of food system change.
