LARAMIE, Wyo. — The Wyoming Wildlife Fellowship is now accepting applications for its 2025 season.
The fellowship is open to University of Wyoming students who are interested in getting involved with wildlife conservation and management.
A release from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department notes that the Wyoming Wildlife Fellowship is a collaboration between Game and Fish and the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources. The goal of the fellowship is to “promote well-rounded and well-prepared wildlife and fisheries professionals through an immersive, supportive, hands-on education and work experience.”
The fellowship is a paid summer internship that allows participants to work in a variety of positions and offers hands-on opportunities to work on wildlife, fish and habitat projects.
“This program allows fellows to network with Game and Fish personnel while gaining real-world work experience,” the release states. “Previous fellows have participated in mule deer research, habitat restoration, public education about fish and wildlife management, fish surveys and more.”
According to the release, students, or “fellows,” are given a stipend each semester. They are expected to perform volunteer service hours and complete a seminar, which will further their hands-on learning experience.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2025 cohort of fellows. The deadline to apply is March 15. Game and Fish encourages any current or incoming student of the University of Wyoming that has an interest or nexus in working in conservation or with wildlife to apply.
More information, and the application, can be found here.
