Applications for several scholarships are now open to students pursuing education in an environmental field.
Through its 2026 scholarship program, the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) is now offering two $1,000 and two $500 scholarships to graduating high school students.
“These scholarships are an investment in the future of our region,” said Ken Phillips, General Manager of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority, in a news release. “By supporting students who are passionate about the environment, we’re helping to foster the next generation of conservationists who will protect, restore, and sustain our natural environment for years to come.”
To be eligible, students must be pursuing post-secondary studies in fields such as biology, ecology, geography, forestry, and agriculture. Students must also be living within the boundary of the St. Clair region watershed and attend a secondary school in Sarnia, Forest, Petrolia, Wallaceburg, Dresden or Strathroy to apply.
The scholarship funds are made available through donations to trust funds in memory of Archibald W. Campbell, Tony Stranak, and Mary Jo Arnold.
Students can apply for a scholarship by contacting the conservation authority at (519) 245-3710 or visiting the SCRCA website.
The deadline for applications is May 31.
