PNW Section offers Student Stipends to college and high school students. These stipends are intended to support students’ participation in Section and National SRM activities, such as, but not limited to, participation in High School Youth Forum (HSYF) at the National SRM Meeting, and, for college students, participation in PNW Section meetings and tours and (or) the National SRM Meeting.
Budgeted for 2026 are three $200 HSYF stipends, one each for Oregon, WA, and BC students, and six college student $300 stipends with preference given to undergraduate students.
Members of SRM are committed to the professional development of the next generation of rangeland scientists and managers and require that the information below be provided. If the student application is approved, the student will receive reimbursement for the cost of participation after submission of the items described below.
Faculty, please facilitate this process with your students. Whenever possible, students should submit #3 (below) within one month of the event. An exception might be when presentation will occur at a PNW Section Meeting & Tour, and that event is simultaneous to the timing of the student’s travel & participation.
Please communicate with the PNW contact (below) for Collegiate Student Activities, as needed.
The student recipient completes and agrees with the following:
1) Student applicant ensures that their SRM membership is current. Student Memberships are available. https://rangelands.org/membership-signup/
2) Complete the application (page 2 of this document) and have a RNG faculty member send it to the SRM PNW Section contact for Collegiate Student Activities, via email.
3) Maintain a record of attendance at the event for which funds were requested
4) Provide a summary article (~250 words) for publication in the SRM PNW newsletter or present a poster or other summary of the activity at a PNW Section meeting. Photographs are encouraged.
5) Timing of reimbursement depends on when the activity occurs. For example, if the student is accepted to receive funds for the SRM International Meeting, then a summary or report at the Spring/Summer PNW meeting is required two weeks following that event.
6) If funding is desired prior to an event and its provision would allow participation, complete this application with an explanation. Partial financial support may be provided in advance of the event.
