TWS Annual Conference Student Travel Award
Using proceeds from the 2015 Annual Conference held in Winnipeg, the Manitoba Chapter has established an endowment fund to supply a post-secondary student from any Manitoba institution with funds to attend and present at The Wildlife Society Annual Conference.
The purpose is to allow students from Manitoba institutions with an interest in wildlife to present their research, network with other wildlife professionals/students, and encourage long-lasting membership and involvement with The Wildlife Society.
