It is our pleasure to share with you this exciting conservation scholarship program here at the University of Michigan--the Doris
Duke Conservation ScholarsProgram (DDCSP UM). DDCSP UM is a two-year research and internship opportunity for bright, curious undergraduate students interested in conservation, nature, and the environment. The program is aimed at bringing more undergraduates
currently underrepresented in the environmental field into the conservation arena.
If you know any undergraduate students who have a specific interest in natural sciences, environmental studies/science, or conservation, we urge you to share with them the attached
flyer. We would also appreciate your assistance in posting the flyer on the bulletin boards at your department. Thank you!
The DDCSP UM offers unique learning and development opportunities for a diverse group of undergraduate students. It also provides generous funding and alumni support to better equip our scholars to build successful
careers in the conservation and environmental fields. Our team led by Dr.
Dorceta E. Taylor, James E. Crowfoot Collegiate Professor of Environmental Justice and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS), is very excited to welcome our
fourth cohort of scholars next summer 2019.
Please note that applications open November 12th, 2018 and the deadline is on February 1st, 2019 with a priority deadline of January 11th. Please see attached flyer for more information. For graduate students interested
