Eligibility

You can learn more about this opportunity by visiting the funder's website. Primate Conservation, Inc. will grant seed monies or provide matching grants for graduate students, qualified conservationists and primatologists to study rare and endangered primates and their conservation in their natural habitat.All appropriate projects will be considered, but the regions of current interest are Asia and West Africa.The grants are given for field work or conservation.

Ineligibility

We do not support conferences, travel to scientific meetings, legal actions, tuitions or salaries at institutions, and overhead costs.Due to the small amount of monies (under $5,000) to be disbursed by our organization, and due to the obvious need for conservation of many species of primates in their native environment, the Directors feel that no monies should be taken for administration or overhead by the college, university or not for profit organization through which the grant is administered.
