Friends of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Scholarship

This message is to announce the Friends of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Scholarship for Environmental Science Majors for 2022.

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 of $3,000 each may be awarded to qualified applicants to be paid directly to their chosen college or university.  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 undergraduate term.  Students receiving full scholarships from another source or combination of sources are not eligible.

The application is available in various formats at www.friendsofblackwater.org/scholarship.html.  The application and required attachments must be postmarked on or before the annual deadline of March 15.
