Four students from the region have been awarded scholarships for their commitment to environmental education and initiatives.
The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) has awarded a total of $3,000 to students with high academic standing who are pursuing post-secondary studies in a conservation-related field.
Annabelle Rayson from St. Patrick’s Catholic Secondary School in Sarnia, and Olivia Grubb, from Lambton-Kent Composite School in Dresden were both awarded the 2023 A.W. Campbell Memorial Scholarship.
Brynn Dugdale from Strathroy District Collegiate Institute in was awarded the Tony Stranak Conservation Scholarship, while Rebecca Adema, also from Strathroy District Collegiate Institute, received the Mary Jo Arnold Conservation Scholarship.
The scholarships were formally presented to the students earlier this week.
“We are happy to provide support to these students as they pursue their post-secondary studies in the environmental field,” said SCRCA Chair Pat Brown. “Their contributions to the community and local conservation are impressive and I’m confident they will play an important role in tackling current and future environmental issues both locally and beyond.”
The scholarships are made possible through trust funds established by the St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation and its donors.
