Our Employees are Learning More with the Birnbaum Zoobright Scholarship Fund!

The Birnbaum Zoobright Scholarship Fund provides Woodland Park Zoo employees with scholarship awards to pursue special professional development opportunities related directly to the zoo’s mission. Awards are made on a competitive basis, open to any employee who has worked for the zoo for at least two years.

Over the past three years the Birnbaum Zoobright Scholarship Fund has provided twelve Woodland Park Zoo employees with funding for educational exchanges, travel, professional development and personal growth.

Funded by a generous endowment gift from Z. William and Hilde Birnbaum, the Zoobright program is an important resource that enables the zoo to support the unique personal and professional needs of its employees.

Opportunities supported by Zoobright Scholarships have already resulted in studies, research, training and professional exchanges that have been shared with and benefited conservation organizations and zoos around the world.
