As climate change displaces and harms an increasing number of people and their communities, it’s important for students to be educated about environmental protection, their carbon footprints, and all of the dangers affecting the earth. 

Getting involved with environmental programs at a young age allows kids, teens, and young adults to grow into conscious consumers, determined educators, and voices for their communities. From volunteering to inspiring others to coming up with innovative solutions to pollution, active and informed students can make all the difference in protecting the world for generations to come.

This scholarship aims to support students who have made changes in their community or have a passion for the sciences so they can achieve their goals.

Any high school student in their junior or senior year who has volunteering experience in environmental programs may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re pursuing the life sciences (biology, chemistry, or environmental science).

To apply, tell us your favorite thing about the planet and how you have protected the environment by taking action.
