The Lancaster County Conservation District will award three $1,000 scholarships to Lancaster County high school seniors in 2016 who pursue a career in natural resources and/or conservation.
Applications will be accepted from students continuing their education in the 2016/2017 school year.
Examples of acceptable programs of studies include environmental sciences, wildlife and/or fisheries biology, environmental resource management, or other related programs leading to a two-year associate degree or four-year baccalaureate degree.
The completed application must be received in the conservation district office by March 31.
The scholarship committee of the district will conduct a review of the applicants. Basis for the selection will be determined on past performance and activities, current school and community involvement, future purpose and direction, and communication skills.
The top candidates will be interviewed.
An announcement of the successful candidates will be made by May 16.
The scholarships are made possible through an Ann Brown bequest, along with a fundraiser at the annual district banquet, and by contributions from individuals concerned that we maintain and protect our natural resources.
For more information and a scholarship application, go to the District's web site at www.lancasterconservation.org, or contact the office at 717-299-5361.
