Apply for scholarships through the Grand River Conservation Foundation
Post-secondary students who are planning a career in an environmental field may be eligible to apply for one of two scholarships offered by the Grand River Conservation Foundation (GRCF).
The two scholarships, each worth $4,000, will support students attending a Grand River watershed university or college and are enrolled in programs that focus on environmental science, resource management or engineering.
The SC Johnson Environmental Scholarship will support a full-time student who has completed their third year or sixth semester of an honours program at a university or college in the Grand River watershed (Waterloo, Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier) or second year of engineering at Conestoga College. The scholarship is funded by SC Johnson & Son Limited of Brantford, a long-time GRCF supporter.
The Allan Holmes Scholarship will support a graduate-level student focused on applied research in the field of resource management. The scholarship was developed in honour of Allan Holmes, who served as CAO of the Grand River Conservation Authority from 1991 to 2000. Applicants must be registered at a university within the Grand River watershed. Eligible fields of study could include environmental science, engineering, emerging technologies, governance and/or education.
The application deadline for each scholarship is Friday, July 19, 2024. Applications and additional details are available online at www.grcf.ca/scholarships.
