This week, two exceptional students were delighted to learn they had each been awarded a $5,000 Ron Magill Conservation Scholarship.
Tatiana Caballero, a biology major at Miami-Dade College, is driven by a deep passion for animal welfare and conservation. Her goal is to become a zoologist and take a leadership role in conservation initiatives.
Emily Wruble, a student at the University of California, Berkeley, has dedicated herself to the care of animals both in the wild and under human care. She aspires to become a veterinarian specializing in wildlife, helping to ensure healthy and sustainable animal populations.
The Ron Magill Conservation Scholarship is an annual award conceived and created by Zoo Miami’s Ron Magill and funded through the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment at the Zoo Miami Foundation. Its primary purpose is to inspire and support young adults pursuing degrees in the life sciences who are committed to building careers in wildlife conservation.

They must be a high school senior with proof of acceptance to a college or university OR a college/university undergraduate student with a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and a career objective in the wildlife conservation field.
