Izaak Walton League of America, National Conservation Scholarship

The Izaak Walton League of America is accepting applications for a pair of $2,500 scholarships to college juniors or seniors who are pursuing degrees in conservation or environmental related fields. The deadline for applying is April 1. The IWLA National Conservation Scholarship is made possible with support from its members and a generous grant from the IWLA Endowment.

Applicants should be enrolled in programs that may include, but are not limited to: environmental science/engineering/education; natural resource management; forestry; wildlife; fisheries; parks and recreation; range management; soils; and other related sciences such as ecology, biology, geology, hydrology, and zoology, including mammology, ornithology, and entomology.

Awards will be made in two categories:

To a student who is a previous recipient of an IWLA chapter/division scholarship
To an IWLA member, or the child of a member, whose membership has been active for at least one year prior to submission.

Students may only apply in on category. Applicants will be evaluated based upon their knowledge of conservation/environmental issues and their commitment as a future conservation leader. Scholarship recipients will be announced and recognized at this year's IWLA national convention in July in Big Sky, Montana. Scholarships will be awarded directly through the college at the beginning of the fall semester/quarter.
