World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) offers WWF Prince Bernhard Scholarships (PBS) for Nature Conservation, a funding opportunity designed for international students heading to International (administered by WWF International in Switzerland). The award covers Up to CHF 10,000 per award; preference is given to requests below the maximum and is open to mid-career professional training, correspondence courses, or formal study up to master's level, generally capped at one year students studying nature conservation and directly related disciplines, such as forestry, marine biology, environmental policy, and natural resource management. The scholarship runs for up to 1 year, as a one-time award. Eligibility is generally based on open to conservation practitioners and students from the eligible regions who have applied to, or been accepted by, a relevant training program; multi-year degree students are only supported for their final year, and priority goes to those studying in their home country or region. Applications are reviewed twice a year, and WWF explicitly favors candidates already working in conservation over first-time students entering the field. The application deadline is Early January annually (historically 5-15 January, depending on the year). Applicants are encouraged to review the official eligibility criteria carefully before starting their application.
