Information and Eligibility:

The Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (VASWCD) offers four $2,000 scholarships annually to Virginia residents who are high school seniors or college freshmen. These scholarships are intended for students pursuing degrees in natural resource conservation or environmental studies. The scholarships aim to support students who have a passion for preserving Virginia’s natural resources and promoting sustainable environmental practices.

Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

  • Be a high school senior or a college freshman enrolled in an accredited program in natural resource conservation, environmental science, or a related field.
  • Have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
  • Demonstrate a strong commitment to conservation efforts and environmental stewardship through extracurricular activities, volunteer work, or other relevant experiences.

The scholarship funds are awarded directly to the recipients’ institutions to be applied toward tuition, books, or other related academic expenses. This is a great opportunity for students who are passionate about environmental issues and who plan to further their education in conservation-related fields.
