SWS encourages students to become active in the field of wetland science by actively recruiting undergraduates from underrepresented populations through the NSF-sponsored Undergraduate Mentoring Program, and by providing many benefits and resources for student members. In addition to a significantly reduced membership rate, SWS provides students the following resources:
- Student Research Grants
- Wetland Ambassadors Graduate Research Fellowship
- Networking with other wetland professionals at the SWS Annual Meeting
