It is available to university graduate students (Masters and PhD) with conservation and environmental research interests. 

Applications for Great Lakes research will be considered, however preference is given to Lake Huron research projects. Applicable research topics include: Biodiversity, Coastal Processes, Dune Conservation, Water Quality, or Plastic Pollution
