Doc Gruber Memorial Scholarship
Supported by McPZ Foundation

We understand that financial barriers can limit opportunities for people in the early stages of their careers, and we are making efforts to make internships more accessible for people with financial constraints. Thanks to the support of the McPZ Foundation, we are pleased to announce the Doc Gruber Memorial Scholarship for early career scientists wishing to intern with the BBFSF in 2025.

 

To be considered, please read the Internship Information page, and fill out the entire Internship Application Form, including the section marked Scholarships. Interns awarded a Doc Gruber Memorial Scholarship will be required to write a blog post for the BBFSF, which can be personal, scientific, or a mix of both. 

 

Partial or full scholarships will be awarded for a duration of two to four months, and will cover all costs associated with living at a remote field station (shared accommodation, three meals a day, Internet, laundry), all field activities, instruction and training, as well as Florida Keys research trips. The scholarship does not include your travel expenses, equipment, US Visa fees (if necessary), travel insurance, or any extra expenditures during the internship. 

 

Funding for scholarships is limited and applications are competitive. We are seeking hard working individuals who are eager to take on new challenges, work proactively and learn a variety of skills.  

​

Doc Gruber Memorial Scholarships are available for Bahamian & international applicants who are 18 years of age and up.
