Old Florida Vibes believes in connecting people through nature and the protection of our wild native flora and fauna across the Sunshine State. 

The OFV team not only wants to help ensure our public lands remain wild for future generations but to encourage others to pursue an education in environmentally-oriented fields. This is important to us because we have personally seen a decline in local native ecosystems and flora and fauna and believe that by increasing awareness the next generation of conservationist can get to work. 

This scholarship seeks to support students exploring studies in art activism, environmental communications, climate change, water quality, wildlife conservation, wildland management, and recreation so they can achieve their goals and make a difference in the earth’s protection.

Any high school or undergraduate student who is a Florida resident may apply for this scholarship if they’re pursuing environmental conservation, wildlife management, activism, or a related field.

To apply, tell us about your first memory connecting with nature and how your relationship with the planet affects your educational decisions.

Additionally, you may upload an image, such as original art with environmental messaging, environmental memes, etc.
