The Zebra Foundation for Zoological Education invites applications from individual veterinary surgeons, registered veterinary nurses and undergraduate veterinary students to undertake research projects that will further their skills and knowledge of zoo and wildlife health. The Foundation awards grants according to the Reviewers’ and Trustees’ assessment of the project’s contribution to the Applicant’s professional development, and the field of zoological medicine in general.
It is the Trustees’ policy not to fund any project in its entirety but to provide funds that will support specific parts of your project. This could help attract further funding from other bodies. Grants are awarded according to merit, and depending on project requirements range from £100 (one hundred British Pounds) to £1000 (one thousand British Pounds). Successful applicants can apply for another project in the future, to a total maximum Award across both projects of £1000.
A comprehensive and detailed project budget is required for each application. Please note that the Zebra Foundation does not fund travel, accommodation or personal sustenance.
Application will need to be done through your (zoological or educational) institution. Only use institutional email addresses and contact details for both the Supervisor and the Applicant. Please note, to ensure fair distribution of funds, only two applications per institution can be submitted per application round. Institutes are encouraged to select the most deserving students/projects prior to submitting their applications.
