Eight Boise State University Raptor Research Center students received 20 scholarship or fellowship awards and recognitions during Spring 2025. The following M.S. Raptor Biology students were recognized for their academic success and raptor research they are engaged in while pursuing their graduate degrees at Boise State University. Students applied for these awards, some of which were awarded on a competitive basis and/or according to high academic standards.

Student scholarships and fellowships help fund our graduate students’ living and research expenses during the summer, when they are busy with field and lab research without graduate assistantship income. Awards are made possible by endowments from the University Foundation.
