The Asian Scholarship Program for in-situ Chelonian Conservation (ASPin-situCC) is primarily seated at the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, New Jersey.

Begun in 2000, the ASPin-situCC has funded 16 international chelonian conservationists participation in the Wetland Institute's Terrapin Recovery Project, a community-based conservation effort. This opportunity involves field work designed to learn about, and to protect, the northern diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin, a salt marsh turtle that inhabits the US eastern seaboard.

Many other venues have contributed to the overall experience of ASPin-situCC participants since 2000. The longest running contributing venues are the Chelonian Research Institute and Dr. Tom Wilson's University of Tennessee at Chattanooga project that focuses on riverine turtles of the Tennessee River.
