Proposals for Summer 2022 Conservation Internship Projects
Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at the University of Washington! This is the primary platform for prospective internship mentors to propose internship experiences and project ideas to scholars. The information provided here can be preliminary, and if selected for an internship placement, the mentors will work with staff and scholars to co-develop the summer internship project. This is the first step in matching scholars to internships, and not all proposals will be matched with interns. Please read this document (t.ly/Ug6w) prior to submitting a proposal for details on mentor commitment, timeline, and mission statement.

To learn more about our program or process, please join one of our informational meetings.
