We have a couple scholarships available to EcoTech JUNIORS, meaning a student who still has another fall and spring semester before graduating and has been in ENST for a year or more. Please make sure to submit by March 6th!
The recipient will be selected by the Ecological Technology Design faculty/academic advisor of the Department of Environmental Science and Technology, a committee of at least three members.
