The AWMS Committee, since its initiation in 2012, is committed to actively involve tertiary students in the realm of scientific wildlife management. Through recognizing the importance of hands-on experience in operational activities, policy development, and research within this field, it aims to attract and nurture young, passionate members.
The Honours and Undergraduate Student Travel Scholarship program supports undergraduate and Honours students, often ineligible for traditional travel grants, by providing them with financial aid for travel and study programs related to wildlife management and research. This grant enables professional training and exposure to various aspects of wildlife management, allowing students to undertake internships, wildlife projects, or other proposals in different geographic locations. The award includes student registration for the AWMS annual conference, up to A$2000 in funds which cover travel costs and three-year free membership of AWMS, capped at a maximum of $3000.
