Overview
Our Conservation Science Summer Fellowship is a 12-week program where undergrads work directly with a mentor from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Conservation Science team of their choice. Within those 12 weeks, the fellows gain hands-on experience while completing a project. Fellowships are based at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Conservation Research adjacent to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California, unless otherwise stated.
Details
Current undergraduate students must be officially associated with a college or university to be eligible for the fellowship program. Undergraduates who are currently enrolled in college meet this criterion, as well as graduating seniors who are continuing their education in the fall following their graduation. Recent graduates who are not continuing their education in the fall of the same year are not eligible to apply.
