​
RMGA wants to support as many goat-focused projects in a year as we can. For this reason funding applications are each awarded through the grant program up to $5,000 per year.
Student Awards
The purpose of the Student Awards Program is to promote professional development of students with recognition of their role in future mountain goat research, management and conservation. Awards of up to $500 USD will be given to offset costs associated with participating in professional conferences and activities. To be considered for the award students must submit the completed application, including provisionally-accepted conference abstract. The student must give an oral or poster presentation to be eligible for funding (if funding is limited, oral presentations will be prioritized over poster presentation). To foster further engagement and professional development, successful applicants should offer to volunteer time and efforts to help with conference coordination.
