Are you or someone you know
interested in learning more about the environment and making a difference for the earth?
If so, Saw Mill River Audubon encourages
you to apply for our environmental education scholarships. For more than 50 years,
we have assisted over 150 youth and adults with scholarships.
Student Summer Scholarships
The Larry
Light Memorial Scholarship Fund for Youth was established by the Light family
and their friends. This scholarship assists youth ages 13 to 17 years old who
wish to attend a summer camp, class or workshop with an emphasis on the environment.
Examples include a Westchester County ecology day camp, an oceanography institute,
or a National Wildlife Federation camp. Youth scholarship awards depend on the
program cost.
Adult Summer Scholarships
Adults
interested in attending an environmental class, camp or workshop are invited to
apply for an Audubon adult scholarship. Adult scholarship awards are limited to a maximum of $600 per award.
For both adult and youth scholarships, selection
is not based on financial need but on the level of interest
shown in environmental topics through schoolwork
or volunteer activities. The applicant is responsible
to find and select the program for which they are seeking a scholarship award. |
Applications
for Summer, 2010 scholarships
are due December 31, 2009.
