Native Land Conservancy is currently accepting applications for its Land of the First Light Fellowship 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
The fellowship intends to open up pathways to careers in conservation for Native Americans. Whether you're a student of ecology or simply curious about your career options, you're in the right place! We believe that it is in all our best interests when the next generation of Indigenous conservationists is encouraged to bring their whole selves to their training, including their culture.
• To be eligible for this opportunity, you must be a member of a Native American tribal group and be between the ages of 18 – 25 years old.
• We are able to offer each fellow a $8,000 stipend with additional support available for housing, travel, and technology.
• This year, we are happy to accept a cohort of three fellows!
• Apply by 11:59 PM on March 1st. 45-minute Zoom interview invitations will follow applicants under consideration, and awardees will be contacted by March 30th.
• Email [email protected] for additional information.
