Bat Conservation International Student Research Scholarship

Research by BCI Student Scholars is targeted to address these priorities: (1) Investigate the impacts of human-caused environmental changes, such as land development or climate change on bats. Research topics can include, but are not limited to, impacts of land-use change, pollution, or drought. (2) Test interventions to resolve bat and human conflicts, such as hunting, roost disturbance, and persecution. (3) Answer behavioral or ecological questions that aid the protection of a bat species considered Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, or Data Deficient. Bat Conservation International requests proposals through BCIs online application system from exceptionally talented student researchers interested in seeking financial support for their bat conservation research projects. We anticipate granting 13 awards total, up to the amount of $3,000. Follow the scholarship web page for further information on the application process.
