The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) is currently accepting applications for their 2022 scholarships.
They're available to graduating high school students who are pursuing post-secondary studies in an environmental field. That includes biology, ecology, geography, forestry, agriculture, fish and wildlife.
Up to two $1,000 and two $500 scholarships will be awarded to successful candidates.
Applications are open to students living within the boundary of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority or who attend a secondary school in Sarnia, Forest, Petrolia, Wallaceburg, Dresden, and Strathroy.
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 SCRCA at (519) 245-3710 or visiting their website at www.scrca.on.ca/foundation/scholarships.
The deadline for applications is May 31, 2022.
