Grants for Graduate Students Passionate About Animals

Helping animals just because we want to is awesome, and being able to help animals AND getting funding to do so is a bonus! Current graduate students who are passionate about helping animals can apply for an Animal Welfare Trust internship grant, which will help fund either an independent student research project, or an internship (that would otherwise be unpaid) with an established animal protection organization. Grants are generally around $5,000.

To apply, students:

• Must be a graduate student at the time of the application and for the duration of the proposed internship;
• Must have a demonstrated interest in animal welfare; 
• Internship funding must be for an independent project approved by and under the supervision of a university professor or for an unpaid position within an established organization; 
• Internships can be for a summer, semester or year-long duration.

The Animal Welfare Trust is devoted to helping all animals, but they're especially interested in projects focused on humane education, farmed animal issues, and/or pro-vegetarian campaigns.

The deadline to apply is March 1, 2012.
