Blue Economy FELLOWSHIP GUIDELINES

WWF is offering a master's fellowship for Ugandan citizens to conduct research on human-elephant conflict around the northern border of Murchison Falls National Park. Eligible applicants can request up to $15,000 per year for up to two years of funding. Selection is based on academic potential, the quality of the research proposal—specifically its focus on the interface of climate, conservation, people, and sustainable development—and the potential for lasting conservation impact and community engagement.

• The fellowship provides financial support for individuals pursuing a master's degree focused on developing solutions for human-elephant conflict specifically around the northern border of Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.
• Eligible applicants must be Ugandan citizens and legal permanent residents with at least two years of conservation-related experience, a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, and enrollment or application to an accredited master's program in Uganda starting by January 2025.
• Funding is available for up to two years, with a maximum request of $15,000 per year, though the final approved amount may vary.
• Selection criteria emphasize research that explores the intersection of climate, conservation, people, and sustainable development, as well as the inclusion of gender mainstreaming and the involvement of local and indigenous communities.
