Overview

NWRA Wildlife Housing Scholarships The NWRA Wildlife Housing Scholarship is funded through the generous contribution of two members, and may be continued into future years through the generosity of a variety of donors, including any NWRA members who wish to contribute. Additional funding is provided by a generous contribution from the Orphaned Wildlife Rescue Center. The amount available in any one year depends on the amount of funding received from donors. This scholarship benefits NWRA members and licensed/permitted rehabilitators in the United States through an opportunity to receive a cash scholarship for building, repairing, or renovating housing used exclusively for the rehabilitation of wildlife. NWRA matches an amount to be raised by the applicant; in other words, NWRA may fund up to one-half the projected cost of a project. NWRA’s goal is to help rehabilitators meet wildlife housing requirements as published in the Standards for Wildlife Rehabilitation, 2021 edition. In many cases it also helps meet the requirements for state and federal rehabilitation permit renewal.
