Lincoln P. Brower Award

In honor of Dr. Lincoln Brower’s extraordinary dedication and commitment to monarch conservation, the Monarch Butterfly Fund has established the Lincoln P. Brower Award, a $3,000 grant to support undergraduate or graduate students in research on the conservation of monarch butterflies and their habitats. This award is open to citizens of  Canada, the U.S. and Mexico and may apply to research anywhere along the monarch’s migration route.

photograph of Lincoln P. BrowerDr. Brower began studying monarch butterflies in 1954 and dedicated his career to their biology and conservation. He became enthralled with monarch butterflies by his first encounter with them in Mexico and realized then that not only were they beautiful, but their spectacular migration was a gift from nature worth conserving. The Lincoln P. Brower grant will be awarded to those who wish to continue Dr. Brower’s commitment to monarch conservation.

This grant is made possible thanks to the generous contributions from our board members and supporters. If you would like to make a donation online, please go to the donation page or you can send a check to:
