Applications are now being accepted for a number of scholarships offered by the St Clair Region Conservation Authority.
Up to two $1,000 and two $500 scholarships are available for graduating high school students who are pursuing post-secondary studies in an environmental field, such as biology, ecology, geography, forestry, agriculture, or fish and wildlife.
To be eligible, students must live within the St. Clair Region boundaries and attend high school in Wallaceburg, Dresden, Strathroy, Sarnia, Petrolia, or Forest.
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 Ken Phillips, General Manager of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority.
Scholarship applications can be obtained by contacting the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority at (519) 245-3710 or visiting the SCRCA website at www.scrca.on.ca/foundation/scholarships.
The deadline for applications is May 31, 2023.
