Location of Opportunity
In partnership with the University of Hawaiʻi system, we are pleased to share the availability of Hauʻoli Mau Loa Foundation graduate assistantship opportunities in the Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science (TCBES) program at the University of Hawaiʻi, Hilo and the Natural Resources and Environmental Management (NREM) program, School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology (SOEST) and the College of Natural Sciences (CNS) at the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa. In addition to a tuition waiver, students selected for these master’s level graduate assistantships receive a yearly stipend and funds for supplies and professional development. These assistantships are an important part of the Foundation’s Environmental Leadership Pathways initiative, which supports homegrown Hawaiʻi students to aspire to and attain jobs in conservation and natural resource management in Hawaiʻi. You can learn more about our Environmental Leadership Pathways program here.
Selection for the assistantships or “Hauʻoli Mau Loa Fellows” is done by the respective University departments via selection committees and is based on the following criteria: good academic standing; from Hawaiʻi as evidenced by graduating from a Hawaiʻi high school; pursuing an M.S. degree within one of the eligible programs; a track record of supporting Hawaiʻi’s environment and serving in a leadership capacity; and a commitment to pursuing and attaining a career in conservation or natural resource management in Hawaiʻi.
We are excited to partner with these academic institutions to support the next generation of environmental leaders in Hawaiʻi and hope you will join us in spreading the word about these opportunities. For more information about the graduate assistantships, please visit our website.
