The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority has started to accept applications for their scholarships for high school students.
The students must be pursuing a post secondary education in an environmental field.
That includes biology, ecology, geography forestry or agriculture.
They are offering 2, $1,000 dollar and 2 $500 dollar scholarships to students in Wallaceburg, Dresden, Sarnia, and Petrolia.
Established in memory of Archibald W. Campbell, Tony Stranak and Mary Jo Arnold, these scholarships have been made available through donations to trust funds managed by the St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation.
“These generous donations allow our organization to support future conservationists in the St. Clair Region as they pursue their post-secondary education. We hope these scholarships will encourage young people to take an active role in the environmental issues that impact our society today and in the future,” said Brian McDougall, General Manager of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority.

The deadline to apply is May 31st.
