With the help of money raised from our 2024 fisHER Adventure Classic, we will be able to offer TWO $250 awards this year to early career professionals. 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. Winners will be expected to write a blog post for Women of Fisheries, Inc. in 2025.

Sponsorship funds available: $500 ($250 for each award)

Theme: Early Career Professional Development

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

Deadline for submissions: December 17, 2024

Winner announcement: January 2025

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.
