National Geographic Young Explorers Grants

Young Explorers Grants (YEG) offer opportunities to individuals ages 18 to 25 to pursue research, conservation, and exploration- related projects consistent with National Geographic’s existing grant programs, including: the Committee for Research and Exploration (CRE), the
Expeditions Council (EC), and the Conservation Trust (CT).
The Young Explorers Grants Program supports a variety of projects—and an age-range of applicants– -that are generally not covered by other sources of funding. Applicants are not required to have advanced degrees. However, a record of prior experience in the fields of research, conservation, or exploration should be submitted as it pertains to the proposed project.

Funding is not restricted to United States citizens—foreign nationals are invited to apply. Researchers planning work in countries abroad should make great effort to include at least one local collaborator as part of their team.
