EXTERNAL FUNDING
External funding is a useful resource to secure for any applicant and will facilitate your studies with us or any educational institution. Funding opportunities for training conservationists are available from third parties. As securing such funds often takes considerable time, it is advisable to explore such funding opportunities over a year before the application deadline. The University of Oxford also provides a Funding and Scholarship search which you can use to see what scholarships you could be eligible for when applying for this course: http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/fees-and-funding/fees-funding-and-scholarship-search
The Recanati-Kaplan Foundation Scholarship
The Diploma programme administers a grant from the Recanati-Kaplan Foundation which can provide financial support for candidates from less economically developed countries to attend the course. If you are eligible and unable to secure funding yourself, you can apply for varying levels of sponsorship to cover course fees, travel to and from the UK, accommodation, and living expenses for the duration of the course.
If you wish to be considered for this support, please complete the Scholarship Application form, which can be downloaded here: [Scholarship Application Form]. Incomplete scholarship forms, or applications submitted without a scholarship form, will not be considered for funding. If you are applying online via the University’s eVision system, ‘Proposed Funding Arrangements’, select ‘Other source’ as your proposed source of funding, and enter ‘2025CONTWCRUDIP’ in the box below. The period covered is 1 year. You can append your completed scholarship application form to your application using the University Upload form: https://uni-of-oxford.custhelp.com/app/upload.
