Friends of Blackwater Scholarship

To promote the preservation, awareness, and appreciation of our environment, the Friends of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge offer scholarships to students who are pursuing careers in fish and wildlife management, environmental education and science, and related fields.

Three annual scholarships, one each of $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000 may be awarded to qualified applicants to be paid directly to their chosen college. The scholarships are to be used for tuition, college fees, books, supplies, and equipment, if required of all other students in the registered courses.

Scholarships are available to students whose home residences are in Maryland and will be entering their junior or senior year of college or a graduate program following their final college term. Students receiving full scholarships from another source or combination of sources are not eligible.

Please see the fact sheet below. The application is available online at www.friendsofblackwater.org/scholarship.html.

The application and required attachments must be postmarked on or before the annual deadline of March 15.
