GRAND RIVER – For students planning a career in an environmental field, now is the time to apply for scholarships available through the Grand River Conservation Foundation.
The foundation has two scholarships available – each worth $4,000 – to support students attending a university or college in the Grand River watershed and enrolled in programs that focus on environmental science, resource management or engineering.
SC Johnson scholarship
The SC Johnson Environmental Scholarship will go to a full-time student who has completed their third year or sixth semester of an honours program at the University of Waterloo, University of Guelph or Wilfrid Laurier University, or has completed their second year of engineering at Conestoga College.
The scholarship is funded by SC Johnson & Son Limited of Brantford, a long-time GRCF supporter.
Allan Holmes scholarship
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 include environmental science, engineering, emerging technologies, governance or education.
The application deadline for each scholarship is July 19. Applications and additional details are available at grcf.ca/scholarships.
