Segré Scholarships 2012

Segré scholarships are open to employees of EAZA Members or Candidates for Membership. These scholarships are made possible due to a generous donation from Foundation Segré. The aims of the Segré Scholarships are to promote professional training, and support motivated, committed zoo staff to further their skills development and aid the wider EAZA community. These scholarships are particularly intended to support staff from institutions that would benefit most from this type of financial support.  

One scholarship will be available for the following courses offered in 2012:

• Basic breeding programme management
• Animal behaviour and applications to husbandry
• Forage production and management
• Visitor studies
• Exhibit design and planning
• Animal training
• Introduction to zoo and aquarium management

Scholarships will cover:
 ~ Course fee
 ~ Cost of return airfare, or standard class train or bus travel, or car mileage at €0.45 per mile to the course location (travel arrangements and 
    costs to be agreed before payment is made)

Scholarship applicants are required to complete a scholarship application form and provide two letters of recommendation.  One letter must be from your current manager and the other from someone else who knows you well and is linked to the work of zoos and aquariums.  Click on the images on the right to open these documents.

If you are unsuccessful in your scholarship submission but wish to attend the course anyway, sending in a scholarship application form does not guarantee you a place. To guarantee your place you must submit a completed application form for the course and pay the course fee in full. If you then receive a Segré Scholarship the course fee will be refunded to you. 

The deadline for scholarship submissions is 2 March 2012.

Submissions that are incomplete will not be considered. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that both letters of recommendation are submitted by the deadline. Submissions are reviewed by members of the EAZA Executive Committee and the EAZA Executive Office, with successful participants usually being notified a minimum of 4 weeks before the start of their course.

All scholarship submissions should be emailed to Myfanwy Griffith

If you or your organisation would like to offer a scholarship to EAZA Academy participants then please contact Myfanwy Griffith to discuss this further.
