The Society of Wetland Scientists aims to develop and encourage wetland science as a distinct discipline by providing support in student education, curriculum development and research. To support this goal, SWS offers partial funding of wetland-related research conducted by undergraduate and graduate students from an accredited college or university worldwide. These grants are intended to aid student's costs of travel, room and board in the course of field investigation and to help cover costs of expendable materials and supplies required in the execution of the proposed research.

Letters of Support

Students applying for funding through the SWS Student Research Grants Program are required to have two letters of support. One letter must be written by the applicant's research advisor. The second letter should be written by a qualified individual familiar with the applicant and technical details of the proposed project.

Each referee must clearly identify the nature of his/her relationship with the applicant. The letters of reference must clearly and directly address the proposed research and the applicant's role in project development and initiation, taking into consideration the academic stage in the applicant's career (viz., seeking a Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral degree). Letters also should evaluate the likelihood that the work will be successfully completed.

Please identify below the two individuals who will be submitting letters of recommendation on your behalf, and have them submit the letters directly to SWS via email at info@sws.org no later than May 1, 2024.
