Overview

BCI offers two granting programs, Student Research Scholarships and Global Grassroots Grants, designed to create and support a new generation of talented young researchers and conservationists dedicated to the lasting survival of the world’s 1,300+ species of bats.

Student Research Scholarships

Each year, BCI awards scholarships to help students at universities around the world conduct conservation-relevant research. The goal of this program is to support exceptionally talented students in research initiatives that will contribute the new knowledge that is essential to conserving bats and the ecosystems they serve worldwide.

The maximum one-year award per student is $5,000. They hope that these funds will open opportunities for matching grants from other conservation organizations, government agencies and private foundations, and that BCI's support will grow in years to come.

Global Grassroots Grants

BCI is committed to supporting high-quality, grassroots bat conservation efforts outside the United States and Canada. In general, they look for: habitat protection projects with significant ecological impact that teach local citizens the value of protecting bats. They are most interested in supporting local, in-country conservationists and researchers and especially look for projects in which BCI's support will be matched by other sources.
