Local conservation club to award a scholarship |
The Watertown Conservation Club, Inc. will award a scholarship totaling $1,200 to a high school senior who is planning a career in some area of conservation or environmental studies.
The recipient must be a graduating senior from any public or parochial high school who resides within the Watertown Unified School District. The student must be accepted into an accredited college program that leads to a degree in some area of conservation of natural resources or environmental studies.
Areas of study that have qualified in the past include fish and wildlife management, forestry, conservation warden, meteorology and civil engineering.
The student will be required to show with a written statement that his/her chosen career will meet this requirement.
The scholarship is awarded in two payments of $600 each. The first $600 is awarded to the graduating senior. The second $600 is awarded in the second year of college.
The recipient must show proof of satisfactory grades and continuation of study in the program for which the scholarship was awarded.
A single runner-up will also be selected who would receive the scholarship if the original recipient fails to meet the second year requirements.
For more information students should check with their guidance counselor for an application form, or contact the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, Jim Huhn, at 261-3998 or jkhuhn@charter.net. |
