Students4Students e.V. is a young student organisation seeking to strengthen the role of indigenous
communities in protected areas, conservation, and ecological science in Africa through a scholarship
program. We are currently looking for a promising individual who wants to study a conservation or
sustainability related undergraduate program/course at a university in their home country to apply
for our scholarship program. Applicants must meet the following requirements:

1. Exceptional grades in school leaving certificate.

2. Admission (or high likelihood of admission) to a specific entry level course of choice at a
university in the field of nature conservation or sustainability.
3. Their economic situation is hindering the applicants’ ability to begin studies. The applicant is
not receiving any private or institutional funding.
4. High motivation, enthusiasm and potential for a career in conservation on a management,
leadership or academic level.
5. Passion for the protection of natural ecosystems.

Applications from women, members of disadvantaged groups, citizens of rural areas and indigenous
communities will be given preference.

If you meet all the necessary requirements, please send your application including the following
documents to s4students@web.de by the 15th of April 2023. If you do not have the means to create
and send a (PDF or Word) document via email and do not have someone to support you with this, you
are welcome to apply by messaging our Instagram account: “Students4students.ev”, as long as you
are providing the same following information.
