HOW TO APPLY:
For the application for admission, please follow the instructions here.
NOTIFICATION OF SELECTED CANDIDATES:
Participants will be notified as soon as possible after the application deadline. Depending on the number of applications received, this process can take 2 weeks. Once the selection process is complete, all applicants will receive an official letter or email from the seminar organizers. We will also be using a rolling admissions process, which means we will be selecting and accepting participants as we receive their applications and process them, so you might not have to wait until the end of the application period to receive a provisional acceptance letter. The provisional acceptance letter provides you with a space in the seminar, but that space is dependent on you lining up the funding to cover the seminar fee. Once you have confirmed funding, please let us know as soon as possible at protectedareas@colostate.edu.
PAYMENT
In most cases, the participant or donor/agency will be responsible for sending us payment for the seminar’s tuition through wire transfer. In some cases donors also can make payment directly to our university (for example, CI, WWF, US Forest Service, US National Park Service). If you or your institution is responsible for payment, the deadline to send full payment is August 18, 2023 by the end of the business day to guarantee your space in the seminar. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for the loss of your space in the seminar due to late payments. If cancellation is made before August 21, 2023, the amount paid minus a US $250 administration fee will be refunded. The last day to cancel is August 25, 2023. In case of a cancellation later than August 25, 2023, a refund cannot be guaranteed.
The information to make the wire transfer is as follows:
The best method of payment is by electronic bank transfer. Payments must be in US dollars.
The wire transport form should indicate that the transfer is for “Women’s Leadership Seminar – notify Ryan Finchum, WCNR, Ryan.Finchum@colostate.edu,” have your name noted as well so that funds are not lost en route. It is also important to send a copy of the bank wire receipt to protectedareas@colostate.edu.
