The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority is seeking applications from graduating high school students for their 2022 scholarships.
Each year, the organization provides several scholarships for local students pursuing post-secondary studies in an environmental field, with up to two $1,000 and two $500 scholarships awarded to successful candidates.
Applicants must either live within the boundary of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority or attend a secondary school in Sarnia, Forest, Petrolia, Wallaceburg, Dresden or Strathroy. Environmental fields include such subjects as biology, ecology, geography, forestry, agriculture, fish and wildlife. The deadline for applications is May 31.
Established to honor the legacy of Archibald W. Campbell, Tony Stranak and Mary Joe Arnold, the annual scholarships are made available through donations to trust funds that are 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,” said SCRCA general manager Ken Phillips. “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.”
