The Burnett Scholarship scheme was launched in 2024 for the DICE Masters' course for applicants from Africa's KAZA region.
Applications are now open for the 2025/6 Burnett Scholarship.
Through the generosity of the Notsew Orm Sands Foundation, we offered up to six scholarships in 2024, and will be doing so again for the next two years. The successful applicants receive a fully funded studentship on our taught Masters’ course in Conservation Science.

- Be nationals of, or have official refugee status in, Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
- Have at least two years of work experience in the conservation sector.
- Be in possession of a good undergraduate degree, with a minimum of a UK 2:1 or equivalent.
