Attention all early career professionals! If you haven’t had a chance to apply for this year’s award, we are extending the deadline to January 17, 2024.

With the help of money raised from our 2023 fisHER Adventure Classic, we will be able to offer one $250 award this year to an early career professional. Funds can be used to help with professional training, attending an upcoming professional conference, or even getting a professional outfit for your next interview. No matter the need, the Women of Fisheries is here to lend our support. Use the form below to creatively tell us a little bit about yourself, your career path, and how you plan on using these funds. 

Eligibility: This award is geared towards early career professionals, not students. Any woman who has graduated within the last 5 years and is currently working in a fisheries science field is eligible to apply.

Sponsorship funds available: $250

Theme: Early Career Professional Development

Submission: Only applications received using the form below will be accepted.

Deadline for submissions: December 17, 2023 January 17, 2024

Winner announcement: January 2024 February 2024

For any questions or if you don’t receive a confirmation email of your submission, please reach out to us via the Women of Fisheries Facebook Messenger app or by email at women.of.fisheries@gmail.com.
