SCHOLARSHIPS
Since 1968, WWF has supported the Mweka College of African Wildlife
Management, a name synonymous with wildlife conservation in Africa, through
the provision of grants and materials.
In the late 1980s, the worsening economic situation throughout Africa
resulted in falling enrolment and increased financial difficulties for
Mweka. In response, WWF initiated a scholarship programme to aid both the
students and the colleges.
More recently, WWF has provided Mweka with much-needed support for
infrastructure by providing all-terrain vehicles and spares, along with
field and photographic equipment.
WWF has also helped manage the Glaxo Endowment Fund since 1990. The
importance of securing long-term funding for the College will continue to
be a high priority in WWF's conservation efforts in Tanzania.
