Environmental Stewardship Award
Climate change and environmental damage are both very serious problems in our world today that must be addressed.
Today’s students are the future of the environmental field and will bring about the positive changes that are needed to protect the earth and create a healthier planet that will be a safe home for generations to come.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are recycling, sustainability, or climate change focused so they can complete their degrees and make an impact through their careers.
Any graduating senior in high school with at least a 3.0 GPA or a two or four year undergraduate student with at least a 2.8 GPA who is pursuing a field that focuses on the environment may apply for this scholarship. However, applicants residing in Dauphin County or Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, may receive preference.
To apply, explain in a few paragraphs why recycling, or sustainability, or action against climate change is urgently needed and how you might contribute in one of those areas in the future. If you live in Dauphin County or Lancaster County PA, please note this in your essay as well.
In a short essay, discuss the need for mandatory recycling, or sustainability, or global action against climate change, considering the consequences of inaction, the importance of international cooperation, and the role of individuals in building a sustainable future.
