The Education for Nature Program (EFN) at WWF-US is opening the 2015 applications for short-term training and diploma training for women conservationists from Cameroon, DRC, CAR, Gabon, and Republic of Congo.  There are two opportunities available for women working in the Congo Basin:

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GRANTS FOR SHORT-TERM TRAINING

These grants support short-term non-degree training that enhances skills necessary for effective conservation work and career advancement. Most training programs are less than 6 months in duration and applicants are expected to return their jobs with new skills that help to build capacity in their organization. The grant covers training costs up to US$5,000.

TRAIN SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DIPLOMA, POSTGRADUATE, OR HIGHER TECHNICAL DEGREES

These grants provide support to women to pursue a certification, diploma, or technical degree in conservation. These scholarships allow women in the Congo Basin to gain much-needed formal conservation qualifications. Scholars receive financial support for education-related costs for a period of about one year (maximum of US$10,000.) Study can take place anywhere in the world, must lead to a certificate, diploma, or degree.

Please note there are 2 application deadlines for each opportunity: May 1, 2015 and August 1, 2015. You can find more information on this opportunities through our website: Here
