When I first introduced myself I mentioned going to India in March - after that incredible experience with Global Protagonists, I am for sure wanting to pursue my masters degree in conservation medicine, one-health and zoonotic disease transmission. However, I find myself hitting a wall lately especially with funding being so scarce right now.  My long-term goal is to be able to work abroad anywhere with wild felids (my focus species)but also travel. I run a travel blog and do some small art things such as native american beadwork, drawing, and diamond painting.  I have cold emailed a lot of professors, and found a decent amount of programs I could apply to but without funding I wouldn't be able to do so. How did you (if you aimed for grad school) figure out funding or schools? What are some good skills to have regarding some programs or job opportunities?  have looked into african positions but I don't have my FGASA or NQF 2 training as I can't afford it.  Thanks in advance Abbie
