Our Cabela’s Apprenticeship Program is an opportunity for students to gain experience doing research that addresses real issues centered around:

recruiting and maintaining participants in outdoor activities
managing fish and wildlife and creating their habitat
protecting threatened and endangered species
supporting ecosystem conservation

Students with at least 27 credit hours or sophomore standing are eligible to apply.

Funding for apprentices typically averages about $3,000, but other levels of funding are considered if justified in the application.

The program is a partnership among Cabela’s, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with funding provided by Cabela’s.

Applications for 2024 are due Friday, February 16, 2024 at 5:00 pm
