John Cornely Travel Scholarship

Your gift today makes sure one graduate student studying swans participates in the next Swan Conference.

Your donation opens a gateway of opportunity for a promising graduate student to attend Swan Conferences, a crucial step in fostering the next generation of swan biologists and managers who will take the torch of conservation into the future.

Making sure students had the opportunity to participate in Swan Conferences was a passion of John Cornely, former Executive Director who passed away last fall. His personal generosity funded travel of graduate students for many past Swan Conferences. Your gift today will carry on his wonderful legacy and make it a legacy of your own.

With your gift, you are not just funding travel; you are investing in the education and professional development of a student dedicated to swan conservation. At the conference, they will have the chance to present their research, engage in vital discussions, and connect with experts from across North America—experiences that are invaluable in shaping a career in wildlife conservation.

For a graduate school student, your gift could be the launchpad to a lifetime of protecting these iconic birds.

Your generosity will make sure the next generation of swan scientists and biologists have the best knowledge and resources to face the challenges of conservation in a changing world.
